Barcelona Star Ousmane Dembélé to Miss El Clásico After Being Hit With Two-Game Ban

Barcelona will be forced to face Real Madrid in the highly-anticipated El Clásico without winger Ousmane Dembélé after the Frenchman was hit with a two-game suspension following his dismissal in La Blaugrana's recent victory over Sevilla.

Dembele reacted to a decision made by referee Mateu Lahoz, and the 22-year-old was given his marching orders when he called the official 'very bad'.

Dembélé's dismissal left the Catalan giants sweating over his potential participation in the top of the table clash with Madrid after the international break, and the winger's two-match suspension was reported by Què T'hi Jugues on Wednesday afternoon.
