Yeray Alvarez News: Suspended 10 months

Alvarez has been suspended 10 months and will be able to resume competition early in April 2026, the club announced.

Alvarez has been suspended for 10 months by UEFA following the conclusion of its disciplinary investigation. The ruling recognized there was no intent to dope, as the banned substance came from misuse of his partner's hair-loss medication, but stressed the player remained responsible for verifying it was permitted. The suspension, effective June 2, means Alvarez can return to competition on April 2, 2026, though he may resume training two months earlier the club mentioned.
