Two rounds off for the referee who hit Morata LaLiga Kept away from the spotlight

The Spanish FA's refereeing committee have decided not to give Javier Alberola Rojas a match in the 35th round of LaLiga Santander.

This comes after the referee was involved in an incident with Alvaro Morata during Atletico Madrid's match against Eibar on Saturday.

He appeared to hit Morata on the back of the net and the player reacted furiously to the contact.

Alberola Rojas was already due to be rested for the 34th round of matches that are taking place this midweek, but the federation's refereeing committee have also decided to keep him off their list of appointments for the 35th round this coming weekend.

The 27-year-old hasn't even been given a VAR assignment.
