Nathan Silva to face Tigres after red card rescinded
The Pumas defender is available for the next match after the Disciplinary Commission overturned his early red card against Santos.
Pumas defender Nathan Silva will be available for the upcoming match against Tigres. The club successfully appealed his red card, which was issued just one minute into their previous game against Santos.
The expulsion occurred following a push in the penalty area that resulted in both a spot-kick and a dismissal. Upon review, the Disciplinary Commission concluded that the play did not constitute a clear goal-scoring opportunity, leading them to overturn the red card decision.
Having his starting center-back back in the squad is a significant boost for head coach Esteban Solari. As Pumas fights for a spot in the Liguilla, the team is under pressure to secure points, and having a full-strength defensive line will be crucial for the high-stakes encounter against Tigres.
