Colón take Muñoz case to AFA: board to seek sanction cut | OneFootball

After receiving a two-match suspension for his sending-off 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) with the aim of having the sanction imposed on Matías Muñoz reviewed and reduced. The central 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 be included in the squad list next weekend, when Ezequiel Medrán’s team visits Los Andes.

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