In last season’s UEFA Europa League, Manchester United played against Athletic Bilbao. After the match, it was revealed that one of the Bilbao players, Yeray Álvarez, tested positive for a banned substance.

Details: Yeray claimed that he did not intend to dope. The issue arose from the misuse of a hair-loss treatment belonging to his partner, which contained the banned substance.

UEFA has imposed a ten-month suspension on him. He will be able to return to playing football in April 2026.

Recently, it was reported that the League Cup’s organizing committee announced disciplinary actions after fights broke out following the August 31 final between Seattle Sounders and Inter Miami.
