The forward for Estudiantes de La Plata, Guido Carrillo, will miss the upcoming classic match against Gimnasia y Esgrima for the Clausura tournament semi-finals due to the four-match sanction imposed by the AFA's Disciplinary Tribunal.
According to information from the Argentine News Agency, the 'Pincha' management filed a request to reduce the penalty so that he can be present against the 'Lobo' and go for a spot in the local championship final, but it was rejected by the regulatory body, and the experienced attacker will have to serve the full punishment.
The former Monaco and Southampton player has served three of the four suspension days after being sent off with a direct red card in the match against Tigre, so the Platense classic will be the last pending match.
However, if the 'Leon' achieves a victory and advances to the final of the tournament, coach Eduardo Domínguez will be able to count on his starting forward and team captain to fight for the title of Argentine football champion.
Why did Guido Carrillo suffer a harsh sanction against Tigre?
The expulsion by referee Fernando Zamora came from a strong altercation during the first half between Guido Carrillo and Tigre defender Joaquín Laso.
In the report, the referee detailed: 'at 41 minutes of play, I expelled visiting number 9 player Guido Carrillo for applying an elbow blow to an opponent's face with excessive force while the ball was in play, but not in dispute between them.'
However, the most serious part of the incident happened after the official decided to show him the red card. As he was leaving the field, 'he was insulting, saying out loud, 'you are a disgrace, you are all criminals.''
