Vitor Roque will miss just one La Liga game if the Competition Committee reject Barcelona's appeal against the Brazilian's second yellow card against Alaves.
The player didn't pick up a straight red, so his suspension can't be too harsh.
The 18-year-old could miss Barca's home clash against Granada on Sunday, February 11. Xavi will probably call up Barca Atletic forward Pau Victor again since none of Vitor Roque, Ferran Torres, Joao Felix and Marc Guiu (injured) would be available as back-up strikers.
Vitor Roque was given the second yellow against Alaves for a 'careless hit on the leg'. Replays show the contact was too soft even for a yellow. Still, it's said to be unlikely that Barca's appeal will be approved.
The striker has already scored two goals in just 127 minutes for Barcelona.
