BARCELONA, Spain -- Barcelona will appeal against the one-game suspensions given to coach Pep Guardiola and striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

Guardiola was sent from the touchline for arguing with one of the linesman during Saturday's 2-2 draw at Almeria, while Ibrahimovic was sent off on the hour mark.

Both are set to miss Sunday's game against third-place Valencia at the Camp Nou stadium unless the bans are overturned.

Spanish champion Barcelona and Real Madrid both have 62 points, with Madrid top of the table on goal difference.
