Abdelkabir Abqar insisted there was no intent behind the incident that earned him a red card against Atletico Madrid. The defender was sent off after VAR showed contact with Alexander Sorloth while the ball was out of play, leaving Getafe short-handed. Referee Ortiz Arias dismissed Abqar after reviewing footage that showed him grabbing Sorloth in a sensitive area during an off-ball tussle. Abqar later said he had only tried to make normal contact in a physical duel and claimed the action was misunderstood rather than deliberate.

Getafe are close to signing Patrick Bamford after the striker’s release from Leeds.

Bamford, who scored 60 goals in 205 games for Leeds, rejected Chelsea earlier in his career before becoming a key figure at Elland Road. His arrival would strengthen Getafe’s attack and offer valuable experience after losing Christantus Uche to Palace.

Rashford now faces another battle to prove his professionalism and maintain momentum in his Barcelona loan spell.
