UEFA has put an end to the uncertainty surrounding the Real Madrid midfielder after the recent European clash. The governing body of European football decided to dismiss the complaint filed by Benfica, which accused the Uruguayan player of violent conduct during an altercation with defender Samuel Dahl.
No sanction for the "Hawk"
After analyzing the evidence presented and the referee’s report, the disciplinary authorities concluded that Fede Valverde's action against Dahl does not constitute a punishable offense. With this decision, the Uruguayan international will not receive any sanction and remains fully eligible to play in the club’s upcoming international fixtures.
Relief at Real Madrid
The news has been received with great satisfaction in Valdebebas, as a possible suspension would have weakened Álvaro Arbeloa’s lineup during a decisive stage of the competition. For its part, Benfica has exhausted its avenues for appeal in this particular incident.
