On the last date of BetPlay Leaguethe midfielder from Antioquia saw the red card for a foul on Christian Marrugo and the sanction was confirmed.
This Thursday, America of Cali will be celebrating their 95th birthday, when they host La Equidad at the Pascual Guerrero stadium, where they need an urgent victory to rebound in the standings. However, prior to this commitment, it was learned that one of his players will not be invited to the party because of what he did in the last game against Rionegro Águilas.

It’s about the central defender, John Edison Garcia, who received a straight red in that game for cutting off an obvious scoring opportunity. From Dimayor they confirmed that the player will be suspended for 2 days, because it was a direct expulsion. Therefore, he will miss the game against his former team, Equidad, and will not play against Junior de Barranquilla at the Metropolitano on date 8.
Although it is his first semester in America, it is not the first time that the central defender has missed a game due to suspension with this shirt. Upon his arrival at the club, he came with a pending sanction date for an expulsion that he received with La Equidad on date 19 of the 2021 Completion Tournament, for which he paid it on date 1 of this 2022 against Envigado.
América is left with only two central defenders from the first team for these games: Marlon Torres and Jorge Segura, the latter being an injury-prone player. It remains to wait to see if Juan Carlos Osorio summons a youth player or if he will bet on playing with Elvis Mosquera in that area of the field in case of an emergency.
