Gianluca Zambrotta will miss FC Barcelona's next league game after receiving his fifth yellow card of the season against Villarreal.

The Spanish Football Federation's's Competition Committee ruled that he will be suspended for one game. The Italian defender was shown his fifth yellow card during the defeat against Villarreal last weekend after fouling Sebastián Eguren in the 86th minute of the game. That now means that Zambrotta will miss the 28th league game of the season as the Blaugrana travel to play Almería in the estadio Juegos del Mediterráneo

Puyol returns

Carles Puyol, however, will return to Frank Rijkaard's squad having missed the game against Villarreal due to an accumulation of yellow cards. Andrés Iniesta and Gaby Milito are currently just one booking away from being suspended for one match.
