When a criminal challenge leads to a long term injury for an opponent, the player who makes the challenge normally misses three games at most. Pichi Alonso believes the ban should be the same as the length of time the victim of the tackle is out for.
That is what the ex-player told 'Movistar+' after the match between Sevilla and Getafe. "If Ocampos is ruled out for 10 matches, the footballer who has caused the injury should also miss 10 games," he said.
He is not the first person to argue that the suspension should match the length of time the injured player is out for. There are also many people who think that if a player who requires treatment on the sideline as a result of a foul,. that player should also have to leave the field of play until the injured footballer is back on.
