🚨 Emiliano Martinez handed two game international ban

Aston Villa and Argentina goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez has been handed a two game ban by FIFA for “offensive behaviour”, the BBC report.

The shot-stopper, who has won 47 caps for the Albiceleste, has been banned in relation to two events which occurred in games against Chile and Colombia in the most recent international break.

They involve punching a camera as well as “holding a replica Copa America trophy against his crotch”, in a repeat of the celebration he demonstrated after winning the World Cup in 2022.

He will miss the qualifiers against Venezuela and Bolivia in October, though he is still free to feature for Aston Villa in the meantime.
