Competition sanctions four games against Fernando Reges and Pape Cheikh and one against Ángel Correa

MADRID, 1 Mar. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The Competition Committee of the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) sanctioned this Wednesday Fernando Reges, from Sevilla, and Pape Cheikh, from Elche, with four games, and one against Ángel Correa, from Atlético de Madrid.

The body imposed this punishment on the Brazilian midfielder, who was sent off in the 94th minute of the clash against Osasuna after insulting one of Juan Luis Pulido Santana's assistants with the words, according to the minutes, "bastard, bastard, son of a bitch, bastard '. After seeing the red card, the veteran player also insulted the Canarian referee to whom he said 'son of a bitch, you are a son of a bitch'.

This sanction comes despite the fact that Sevilla presented allegations requesting "the corresponding sanction in its minimum degree" for the public apologies made by the player, and that the Competition claimed to have considered when imposing the punishment.

For his part, Pape Cheikh will also miss the next four games after seeing the red card when he was on the bench in the game against Betis and addressing the fourth official in the following terms: "What sons of bitches you are."

In addition, the Argentine forward of Atlético de Madrid, Ángel Correa, was sanctioned with a match for the direct red card he saw in the derby for hitting the German Antonio Rüdiger with his elbow "without the ball being in play".

Competition dismissed the allegations of the mattress club, which requested that the expulsion be rendered null and void on the grounds that the ball was "in play", that it was the product of "a struggle", that it was not "a violent action" nor did it produce "any type of injury or physical damage to the rival" and that the Madrid center-back simulated "clearly".
