Colón go to AFA over Muñoz: formal appeal to cut his ban | OneFootball

After receiving a two-match suspension for his red card against Morón, the club will file an official appeal. They believe the sanction is excessive and hope the midfielder will be available to face Los Andes.

In the coming hours, the club will file an official appeal with the Argentine Football Association (AFA) seeking a review and reduction of the sanction imposed on Matías Muñoz. The holding midfielder was handed a two-match suspension following his sending-off in the match against Deportivo Morón.

The board’s intention is that, through this appeal, Muñoz will be cleared to make the squad next weekend, when Ezequiel Medrán’s team visits Los Andes.

This position aligns with what the coach himself said last night at the press conference. Medrán described Muñoz’s sending-off as “unfair” after reviewing the footage, noting that the player had no intention of committing a rough foul. “It would be very good if the sanction could be reconsidered because there was no intent and, based on his record, he’s not a player who gets sent off frequently”, Medrán said after the draw against Godoy Cruz.
