Barça's Gavi booked and will miss the second leg against Manchester Utd
The midfielder will not be available for the game at Old Trafford next week
Bad news for Xavi. Barça will not be able to count on Gavi for the second leg of the Europa League round of 16 tie against Manchester United.
The home-grown player, in the 73rd minute, made a foul in midfield to stop a counterattack that earned him a yellow card. This is the third yellow card he has seen this season in Europe and he will have to serve a one-match ban. It will be next week at Old Trafford in the second leg.
During the Champions League group stage he had been cautioned twice and, despite the fact that they are two different competitions, yellow cards accumulate.
It is a big loss because Sergio Busquets, who was unable to play the first leg due to injury, may not be back either, while Pedri, who had to be substituted due to physical problems against United, could be set for a few weeks out.
