Real Madrid midfielder Isco has been slapped with a two-match ban after he was sent off for kicking Neymar in Los Blancos’ 4-0 humbling at the hands of bitter rivals Barcelona last weekend.
As reported by Nerea Gimenez of Sport, the RFEF competition committee have handed the 23-year-old the punishment, meaning he will miss upcoming matches against Eibar on Sunday and local rivals Getafe on Dec. 5. It’s noted in the piece that referee Fernandez Borbalan dismissed Isco for “a kick on an opponent with excessive force.”
