The club will also appeal against Sergio Busquets’ 96th minute caution for throwing the ball at an opponent as they prepared to shoot.

Ronald Koeman will also serve a suspension, after being dismissed from the dugout at full time, and the club will not appeal against his touchline ban against Levante this weekend.

La Liga are expected to make an immediate announcement on De Jong’s situation with Barcelona delaying their squad announcement to face Levante on September 26 as a result.

Spanish international Sergi Roberto is on standby to replace him in the starting XI if De Jong’s ban is upheld.
