On October 28, Real Madrid will face FC Barcelona in a Clasico which promises to be thrilling. And while on the Catalan side, the injured are legion just a stone’s throw from this shock, Carlo Ancelotti’s group is almost complete. However, the Italian technician was going to have to forget Nacho, suspended for this meeting. Finally, good news: the Spanish defender will be available for this clash between the two La Liga behemoths.
Indeed, as reported by the Spanish press, Real Madrid’s appeal bore fruit and the 33-year-old player’s sanction was reduced to just two suspension matches, instead of three which were initially announced. A surprising fact, because it is very rare to see the appeal committee disavow a decision taken by the disciplinary committee on the other side of the Pyrenees.
