FC Porto's Polish central defender Bednarek was punished by UEFA with a two-game suspension. The punishment comes as a result of some incident related to the player's discipline or behavior during European competitions.
With this suspension, Bednarek is barred from participating in two important commitments of the Portuguese team. The player will therefore miss the trip to Seville, where FC Porto would face a Spanish team, as well as the clash against Manchester City, one of the strongest opponents in the group stage or knockout rounds of the Champions League.
The absence of the Polish defender represents a blow to FC Porto's team, which loses one of its main defensive options. However, the club found a solution in Argentine Nehuén Pérez, who should occupy the central defender position in Porto's defense during his teammate's suspension period.
According to the available information, Bednarek can only return to Champions League competition in the match against PSV, the Dutch team that also participates in the main European club competition.
