In this case, no. The minimum automatic suspension of one match after a red card is not a discretionary option and does not require a decision by the competent body. It is a principle embedded in the regulations, which cannot be subject to exceptions, let alone in the middle of a tournament where several other players were in the same situation and regularly served their suspensions. We express our disbelief at such an unprecedented, incomprehensible, and unjustified decision,&#8221; UEFA added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><mark
