Atletico Madrid still to hear from UEFA about Griezmann suspension

Atletico Madrid are still to hear from UEFA about Antoine Griezmann's suspension.

Marca says Griezmann was shown a red card in Atletico Madrid's Champions League group-stage match against Liverpool on October 19, yet the Frenchman has still not been told how many games will miss.

The French forward went from hero to zero on the night, as his two goals brought Los Rojiblancos back into the match before he was given his marching orders in the 52nd minute, with Mohamed Salah converting a 78th-minute penalty that saw Liverpool take all three points back to England.

The referee on the night, Daniel Siebert, believed that Griezmann had endangered Roberto Firmino by trying to pluck the ball out of the air with his foot while the Brazilian looked to get his head on it. Instead, the Atleti player made contact with the Liverpool No.9 and a red card was brandished by the German official.
