So, he is ineligible to feature against Slavia Prague tomorrow and will also miss next week's home game against FC Copenhagen. However, Cancelo will be able to feature normally for Barcelona in the Champions League from the knockout playoff stages onwards."
"FC Barcelona are set to fly out to Prague today as they take on Slavia Prague in the UEFA Champions League on Wednesday night in a must-win game to keep their slim hopes of a top-eight finish alive. Barça go into the game on the back of a defeat against Real Sociedad and will be aiming to bounce back strongly with a victory."
