Five players a booking away from missing next week's Clasico
Barça play Sevilla this weekend while Madrid are at Levante
Barcelona and Real Madrid players may already have one eye on next weekend's La Liga Clasico when they play this weekend.
Both sides have several players at risk of missing the game -- to be played at the Bernabeu on March 2 after the Copa del Rey Clasico on Feb. 27 -- if they are booked this weekend
For Barça, Ivan Rakitic, Arturo Vidal and Clement Lenglet are a yellow away from a ban. For Madrid, Nacho and Casemiro are the two men in danger.
Looking at the Catalans, Arthur's injury makes it more complicated to protect against a possible suspension for Rakitic or Vidal against Sevilla this weekend.
The options to play with Sergio Busquets are Carles Aleñá, Sergi Roberto, and even Philippe Coutinho, but it's unlikely the latter will drop back in a tough game against Sevilla.
At the back, Ernesto Valverde could turn to Jeison Murillo or Thomas Vermaelen -- if he's fit -- to save Lenglet from risking a booking.
Sergio Ramos' ban at Levante this weekend means Nacho will have to play. Casemiro, also walking a tightrope, is more likely to rest with more options in the middle.
