There are now suggestions that Diego Simeone could be banned for seven matches after being sent off in the Supercopa de Espana.
Reports in Marca earlier this afternoon claimed that the Argentine tactician would sit out four games after he was sent to the stands during the Colchoneros’ 1-0 defeat to Real Madrid on Friday evening.
But AS believe that League authorities could now make an example of the Coach, who was seen constantly berating officials, slapped the back of the linesman’s head and watched the game from behind the dugout.
Jury members of the Spanish Football Federation’s Competition Committee will meet on Monday to investigate the incident, with the capital club having until 14.00 to present their defence.
RFEF are keen to conclude their findings as soon as possible, especially with Atleti kicking off their League campaign on Monday against Rayo Vallecano.
