Ander Herrera is, in principle, the only player from Athletic’s first team unavailable for Saturday’s next match against Atlético de Madrid in San Mamés. The Bilbao midfielder is in good physical condition, but his absence is due to disciplinary reasons. Now it must be known what penalty was imposed on him by the Competition Committee after the red hearing on Saturday in Pizjúan. Everything indicates that it is from a game.
Gil Manzano, the referee who directed this last clash between the Sampaoli and Valverde teams, described in his minutes the reason for the red card to Ander Herrera, after going through the VAR, as follows: “In the 90th minute the player (23 ) Herrera Aguera, Ander sent off for the following reason: Knocking down an opponent while playing for the ball, thereby preventing a clear goal-scoring opportunity”.
The scope of the punishment, barring the surprise, will be officially announced during today’s full session.
