Midfielder Ander Herrera has been handed a four-match suspension following his red card incident during Boca Juniors’ clash with Benfica.
Herrera reportedly attempted to intimidate the referee during a VAR check, leading to security intervention on the pitch. The disciplinary committee cited unsportsmanlike conduct and referee intimidation as grounds for the ban.
The suspension is a major blow for Boca as they head into a crucial stretch of fixtures.
