Angel Strap will miss the games against Alaves and Majorca after being banned for two matches following his expulsion in Vallecas. The Argentine striker was shown a direct red card in the 85th minute of the match for addressing the referee Jose Luis Munuera Montero “shouting ‘your mother’s shell!’, as reflected by the referee in the minutes of the duel of the last league matchday.
In this way, the 10 colchonero will miss his first games of this season and last, since so far he has been the only player in the Athletic who has played all the competition matches in the last two campaigns.
What’s more, Cholo Simeone will not be able to count towards the appointment before the Alaves of the next day of LaLiga with Koke. The captain saw the fifth yellow against the Lightning and must serve a penalty game.
