He will still be out, Barcelona appealed but Vitor Roque will remain suspended
Barcelona will seek to appeal the decision and have the Brazilian for this weekend's game
Barcelona will not be able to count on Vitor Roque for this weekend's game against Granada after the Competition Committee will inform that his suspension will be maintained. The Brazilian forward saw the red card in the match against Alavés after a tackle that cost him a second yellow card, a play that was confirmed as a good referee decision.
"This Committee considers that the images provided by the alleging club fail to demonstrate the existence of a manifest material error, the existence of contact being evident. In other words: it cannot be clearly seen that the cautioned player did not carry out the action he was recorded in the minutes.
The repeated viewing of the images, in short, has not allowed this Committee to conclude, beyond all doubt, that the action did not occur as described by the referee and, ultimately, to prove the material error manifest in the story. arbitration," reads the resolution.
However, according to information from Marca, the Blaugrana team will seek to appeal the suspension in order to have Roque for this Sunday's match. Vitor Roque arrived in Barcelona in the recent transfer market from Athletico Paranaense. So far, he has played seven games and registered two goals.
Xavi's threat
Xavi himself already warned that they would reach the final consequences so that he could be in the game against Granada. "Yes, we are going to appeal it because it is a mistake by the referee towards us. Robert is our scorer and Vitor gives us this. The expulsion is very unfair," explained the Egarense.
