Cristian Tarragona's ban confirmed: just a one-match suspension | OneFootball

The AFA Disciplinary Tribunal announced the sanction for Cristian Tarragona following his sending-off against Instituto de Córdoba. There had been uncertainty at Tatengue over the severity of the punishment, but the number of matches he will miss has now been confirmed.

The forward and key figure in the red-and-white attack received a one-match suspension, so he will only be absent for next weekend’s game when Leonardo Madelón’s team visits Talleres de Córdoba.

The news brought some relief to the coaching staff and Tatengue fans, as there had been speculation around the club about a harsher sanction. The recent case of Julián Palacios, who received a two-match ban after being sent off against Aldosivi, had raised alarm bells on López y Planes Avenue.

When will Tarragona be able to play again?

As it is only a one-match suspension, Cristian Tarragona will once again be available to Madelón for the tenth round of the tournament, when Unión host Independiente de Avellaneda at the 15 de Abril stadium. That match is scheduled for Saturday, September 19 at 4:45 p.m.

In this way, the red-and-white coach will have to decide who will take the striker’s place against the Córdoba side as the team looks to keep pace in the standings.
