The Portuguese will have to attend the match from the stands, with the overzealous Rui Faria joining him.
However, Faria will also see out Madrid’s match against Osasuna and will return to the bench as the Spanish giants welcome http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Valencia-c40863 to the Santiago Bernabeu.

On the other hand, first team regulars, Mesut Ozil and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Sergio-Ramos-c33096, will serve one match suspensions and will contend for regular action against Osasuna.
