Real Madrid vs. Barça: The three players who could miss Clasico
Both teams have players who are one game away from a ban in La Liga
Quique Setién and Zinedine Zidane, the coaches of Barcelona and Real Madrid respectively, will have to weigh up whether they use Samuel Umtiti, Clement Lenglet and Ferland Mendy this weekend.
Barça host Eibar at Camp Nou, while Madrid travel to Levante. The two title rivals will then meet at the Bernabeu next weekend in the second Clasico of the season.
However, if any of Umtiti, Lenglet or Mendy were to be booked this weekend, they would be suspended for next Sunday's match in the Spanish capital.
All three French internationals have been booked four times in the league this season. Five yellow cards leads to an automatic ban.
Both teams also have Champions League games to consider when it comes to team selection this weekend. Barça travel to Napoli on Tuesday; Madrid host Manchester City on Wednesday.
Going into this weekend's games, Madrid have a one-point lead over Barça at the top of the table.
