Sanctions for Atleti B: Torres and Martínez sidelined
Atlético de Madrid B faces the final matches with significant absences after the match against Ibiza. Fernando Torres, the charismatic coach, has been suspended for one match after being sent off with a straight red card at the end of the tense match.
According to the referee’s report, the expulsion was due to a confrontation with players from the opposing team, although the club denies that security had to intervene. Despite the sanction, Torres will be able to lead the team in the crucial match against Mérida in the last matchday.
The worst part is for Dani Martínez, who has received a harsh four-match ban for kicking an opponent at the end of the match, which caused a brawl between both teams. This sanction will prevent him from playing the last two league games and, if they qualify, the hypothetical semi-finals of the promotion playoff.
A very sensitive loss for the Atleti B scheme. In addition to the absence of Martínez, the team will also have to deal with the absences of Gerónimo Spina due to accumulation of cautions and Selu Diallo, expelled by double yellow during the match. The rojiblanco subsidiary must overcome these adversities to face the final stretch of the season with guarantees and fight for promotion.
