Barcelona will have to make at least one change for the second leg of the La Liga match against Las Palmas at home because of a red card ban.

Barcelona is four points ahead going into the weekend, and Las Palmas will be arriving in Catalonia. After the November international break, Barcelona had a frustrating return match at Celta Vigo, where Marc Casado was sent off. The match ended in a 2-2 draw.

The Spanish international is now suspended for one game and will miss the match against Las Palmas. With several players in Barcelona's midfield back in action, there are plenty of options to replace Casado.

It's also worth noting that Casado has started 10 of the 14 league games so far in the 2024/25 season and made a big impact when De Jong and Gavi were injured. Marca says it's a risky move to make up for his absence.

It looks like Frenkie de Jong and Gavi are the most likely to take over, with de Jong being a more direct replacement for Casado, but both players are only just returning to full fitness. The pair have only started one league game each this season, and both came off the bench in the 3-0 Champions League win over Brest in midweek.
