According to Mundo Deportivo, Canobbio could receive a suspension of 1 to 6 matches from FIFA for a serious foul on Cubarsi during Spain's victory over Uruguay.
In Spain's 1-0 win over Uruguay, Canobbio was shown a red card in the 95th minute for a tackle on Spanish center-back Cubarsi.
The exact punishment FIFA will impose on Canobbio remains uncertain, with potential suspensions ranging from 1 match to a maximum of 6 matches. The referee's report will be crucial, including how Ismail Elfath documents the incident, Canobbio's conduct during the dismissal, and his behavior after the match.
Although Uruguay's FIFA World Cup campaign has ended, any suspension must still be served in the national team's subsequent matches. Under FIFA World Cup rules, if a suspension cannot be completed during the 2026 FIFA World Cup, the penalty carries over to the national team's next official match in accordance with the FIFA Disciplinary Code.
For Canobbio, the best-case scenario would be for the referee to classify the incident as unsportsmanlike conduct rather than serious foul play. If it is deemed serious foul play in the report, the minimum suspension increases to 2 matches. The relevant clause states that serious foul play carries a suspension of at least 2 matches.
Additionally, Canobbio's reaction to the referee could result in an extra 1-match suspension. According to the relevant clause, a player dismissed for dissent by word or action faces a suspension of at least 1 match. The Disciplinary Code also stipulates that if such behavior is deemed unsportsmanlike conduct toward a match official, the penalty could be at least 4 matches or an appropriate suspension period.
In the worst-case scenario, the Uruguayan player could face a 6-match ban from FIFA.

if cubarsi could have been the one who made the challenge, it wouldn't have been a red card. Annalys could have come from all angles to defend him. Bias funs

if cubarsi could have been the one who made the foul, it wouldn't be a red. Annalys could have come from different angles to defend him.
