The disciplinary committee has delivered tough verdicts following a recent incident on the pitch during a Segunda match.
Details: The main figure in the case is goalkeeper Esteban Andrada, whose aggressive behavior resulted in an unprecedented sanction. The keeper has been suspended for 13 matches after striking his opponent, Alan Pulido, in the face. As a reminder, in the Segunda clash, Zaragoza’s goalkeeper struck Huesca player Dani Jiménez.
Such a lengthy suspension effectively sidelines Andrada for a significant part of the season, leaving his team in a tough spot ahead of crucial fixtures.
The sanctions also affected another player involved in the incident—Dani Jiménez. His punishment was considerably lighter: the footballer will have to miss 4 matches.
Reminder: José Mourinho responded to rumors about a return to Real Madrid.
