"The two midfielders are expected to start, but both have already picked up two yellow cards in the competition already, and another booking will rule them out of Barca's next Champions League match against Chelsea."
"Losing either player for the game at Stamford Bridge on November 25th would be a massive blow for Hansi Flick, particularly as Pedri is expected to still be out for the match as well as long-term injury victim Gavi."
"Club Brugge have won one and lost two of their European games so far in the 2025-26 season and were thumped 4-0 by Bayern Munich last time out at Allianz Arena."
Barcelona face Club Brugge in the Champions League on Wednesday. Midfielders Marc Casado and Frenkie de Jong are expected to start but each already has two yellow cards in the competition. Another booking would rule either player out of Barcelona's next Champions League match at Stamford Bridge against Chelsea on November 25th. Losing a midfielder would be a significant blow to Hansi Flick given Pedri's expected unavailability and long-term injury absence of Gavi. De Jong and Casado are the only players at risk of suspension for the Belgium trip. Club Brugge have one win and two losses this European season and were beaten 4-0 by Bayern Munich at the Allianz Arena.
