Girona will appeal Bernardo's dismissal against Barcelona LaLiga Could miss important clash at Eibar

Given their anger over Bernardo Espinosa's sending off during their 2-0 defeat to Barcelona, Girona will appeal the player's suspension.

The centre-back was sent off in his side's loss on Sunday at Montilivi, which the visitors won thanks to goals from Nelson Semedo and Lionel Messi.

After picking up two yellow cards, the Colombian was dismissed, much to the fury of the club who will aim to have his ban overturned.

"Neither of the two yellows were clear," coach Eusebio Sacristan said afterwards.

Bernardo is a key player in the side and has become a vital component for Eusebio in his three-man system in defence.

Next Sunday, the Catalan side will aim to get back to winning ways against Eibar after going eight league matches without picking up all three points.
