Nacho, the captain of Real Madrid, will finally be able to play the classic on October 28 in Montjuïc if Carlo Ancelotti so decides after this afternoon the Appeal Committee has left him with a two-match ban, reducing by one the three he Competition imposed him for the red card he saw in Montilivi for his entry on Portu in the Girona-Real Madrid added-on.
Nacho served his first game of suspension against Osasuna and the second and last will be against Sevilla at the Sánchez Pizjuán this Saturday. The loss against the Navarrese team was a priori the most important because then Ancelotti only had one center back, Rüdiger, given that David Alaba and Militao were injured. The Italian called up Castilla center back Carrillo, but the one who finally played in the center of defense was Tchouaméni. For Seville on Saturday Alaba is already recovered.
The Appeal document reads as follows: "Partially uphold the appeal made by Real Madrid CF against the resolution of the RFEF Disciplinary Committee, dated October 3, 2023, confirming the existence of a violation of article 122 of the RFEF CD , but reducing the sanction imposed on Mr. José Ignacio Fernández Iglesias to TWO PARTS, with an accessory fine of €700 for the club and €600 for the offender, in application of article 52 CD."
The Appeals committee has assessed that Portu did not suffer a significant injury. In its medical report, Girona explained that the player suffered from "bone edema in the tibial malleolus of the right ankle and rupture of the left gluteal aponeurosis." Six days after Nacho's entry, the Murcian entered the squad for Míchel's team.
