Real Madrid midfielder Federico Valverde will miss one La Liga match after being sent off in the derby against Atlético Madrid (3-2).
İdman.Biz reports this with reference to AS.
The Uruguayan footballer received a straight red card in the 77th minute for a rash challenge on Álex Baena. The Technical Committee of Referees upheld the decision of referee José Munuer Montero.
According to the source, the Competition Committee of the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) has banned Valverde from participating in one La Liga match. Previously, it was expected that the midfielder would receive a heavier penalty and miss two games.
As a result, Valverde will not be able to play in the La Liga match against Mallorca on April 4, in the 30th round.
