First of all Barcelona has defensive problems he will at least need either Busquets or Mascherano for the Almeria match. So even if he instructs it won't be both. Probably Busquets in that case since he will play in el classico, Masch will be on the bench if Puyol returns.
Second of all, Messi has 3 yellow cards.
The goodside is that it is going to be a heated match if Barcelona fail to lead in the first half... And Mascherano might be bound for a card without instructions haha.
