Why Lisandro Martinez will miss Europa League clash vs Barcelona — explained
Lisandro Martinez will not be available to face Barcelona in the Europa League clash later this week.
As per the Manchester Evening News, Licha picked up three yellow cards in the group stages resulting in a ban for the knockout tie first leg.
He will be available for the second leg at Old Trafford in the coming week though, which should be good news for fans.
UEFA rules state those with three yellow cards in the group stages will face suspension for every odd booking they picking up - fifth, seventh, etc. That means Martinez will have to be extra careful to not miss anymore games.
The yellow card accumulation is wiped off after the quarter-final stage, which will then give Licha a clean slate.
