Dembele and Araujo sent off during Barcelona win over Sevilla

The pair were sent off and Pique is suspended for the Eibar game after picking up a yellow with El Clásico around the corner as Valverde left with a selection problem.

Ronald Araújo made his debut for Barcelona against Sevilla on Sunday night in placed of the fatigued Jean-Clair Todibo. He was sent off just 16 minutes laters, however, for a pull on Javier Hernandez' jersey.

During the commotion that ensured, Ousmane Dembele was shown a straight red card too with the pair likely to miss the Eibar game and El Clásico a week after. Reports in Spain suggest the French attacker said something to Mateu Lahoz to feel his ire.

Gerard Pique was also booked for kicking the ball away in the second half and will miss the Eibar game for an accumulation of yellows cards. Clement Lenglet will return for that game but it leaves Ernesto Valverde with a headache should Todibo miss out although if he was just cramping, that won't be an issue.

In a relatively easy win for Sevilla, the red cards could make the run into the Clásico more complicated than it needed to be. Dembele, who has suffered from persistent injuries, was excellent and scored a goal in the first half but it looks like he will miss a couple of games, at least, depending on what the referee puts in his match report.
