Correa, a Significant Loss for Atlético
Atlético de Madrid faces a tough blow after the imminent suspension of Ángel Correa. The talented Rojiblanco player will be out for five matches, news that will undoubtedly affect the team in the coming rounds.
The suspension stems from his expulsion in the match against Getafe, where, according to the referee’s report, he addressed the referee with insults. Four of the suspension matches correspond to the insults, applying the minimum degree of Article 99 of the Disciplinary Code.
The fifth match is a consequence of the expulsion for his tackle on Djene. This sanction, considered serious, will also impact the Copa del Rey, preventing Correa from playing in the cup clash against Barcelona.
In addition, he will miss the important League match against Barcelona at the Metropolitano, as well as the matches against Espanyol, Sevilla and Valladolid. Being the minimum possible sanction, the chances of reducing it on Appeal are practically nil. Without a doubt, a significant loss for Simeone and Atlético, who will have to look for alternatives to replace Correa’s quality and determination in these crucial matches.
