Madrid’s Bellingham handed 2 LaLiga games ban over Valencia red card

Real Madrid midfielder, Jude Bellingham, has been suspended for the club’s next two LaLiga matches after he was sent off against Valencia last weekend.

The player’s suspension was announced by the Spanish football federation on Wednesday.

Madrid appealed against his red card but the federation’s disciplinary committee dismissed their complaint that referee Jesus Gil Manzano made an “error” by dismissing Bellingham.

The England international, LaLiga’s top scorer with 16 strikes, netted moments after the referee blew for full-time in Madrid’s 2-2 draw at Valencia.

Bellingham, 20, ran over to the referee insisting the goal should stand and was sent off, with Gil Manzano saying he showed an “aggressive attitude” and was “shouting”.

The midfielder misses upcoming LaLiga games against Celta Vigo and Osasuna.

Real Madrid lead the top flight by seven points ahead of Girona and are eight in front of rivals Barcelona, third.
