Espanyol star to miss Real Sociedad clash through suspension | OneFootball

Espanyol will be forced to see out the club’s upcoming meeting with Real Sociedad without the contributions of a key performer.

The player in question? Carlos Romero.

Versatile left-back Romero of course took his place front and centre in the headlines across Spain late yesterday evening.

This came after the 23-year-old was at the heart of a controversial moment during Espanyol’s La Liga clash with Real Madrid.

En route to an eventual 1-0 victory for his side, Romero netted the only goal late on.

This only came, though, after the Spaniard was extremely lucky to avoid a straight red card for a horror challenge on Kylian Mbappé.

Romero was shown a yellow card for his part In the incident, an extremely lenient punishment.

But it has nevertheless had lasting effects when it comes to his availability moving forward.

His 5th booking of the La Liga campaign, the on-loan Villarreal man is facing up to a one-game suspension, set to be served against Real Sociedad next weekend.
