Meanwhile defender Ronald Araujo has been suspended for one game after he was dismissed - wrongly - for a foul on Chicharito.

 

Barcelona home Dembele's ban can be lowered to one game os that he plays against Real Madrid. One positive is that Ansu Fati will not go to the U17 World Cup, and can cover for the Frenchman's absence.
