Alan Varela picks up fifth yellow card, misses Arouca clash | OneFootball

Alan Varela deliberately received his fifth yellow card in the League during the final moments of the match against Rio Ave, meaning he will miss the home game against Arouca (6:45pm), scheduled for next Friday, at the start of the 24th round.

The Argentine midfielder delayed taking a free kick near the sideline in the 90+7th minute, in his attacking half, which led the referee to show him the card.

Varela will have his disciplinary record reset in the match against Arouca and will be available for the Clássico against Benfica, at Luz, in the 25th round of the League.

It should be noted that Arouca will visit Dragão without the suspended players Tiago Esgaio, Espen Van Ee, and Lee Hyun-Ju.
