Sub rattles the bar and striker misses, Benfica - V Guimarães | OneFootball

Alioune Ndoye will indeed miss Vitória de Guimarães’ trip to the Estádio da Luz, where they will face Benfica, who may also have an important absence. The Disciplinary Board of the Portuguese Football Federation (FPF) rejected the appeal submitted by the Senegalese forward and upheld the three-match suspension, imposed following an incident in the match against Académico de Viseu.

a player from the Viseu-based side, during the match held at Fontelo, corresponding to the sixth round of the Liga Portugal Betclic.

Ndoye has already served one of the suspension matches in the seventh round, against Moreirense. With the Disciplinary Board’s decision, the two remaining matches he still has to serve are now confirmed: the visit to Benfica, in the eighth round, scheduled for the 11th, and the match against Lamelas in the third round of the Portuguese Cup.

The forward’s absence comes at a time when the player is also dealing with physical problems. Ndoye remains under the care of the medical department and, for that reason, will not be available for the two friendly matches Vitória de Guimarães will play during the competitive break, against Amarante and Fafe.

The 24-year-old Senegalese player has been used by Tiago Margarido at the start of this season and has made six appearances for the Guimarães side. So far, he has scored just one goal, in the 3-2 defeat to Sporting at Alvalade on the second matchday of the league campaign. Thus, in addition to his physical limitations, Ndoye will now also have to serve the suspension that prevents him from facing the Eagles in the next round.
