Varandas received a 51-day suspension and an 8,568 euro fine from the Conselho de Disciplina (CD) of the Federação Portuguesa de Futebol (FPF) on April 3.
This action was taken in response to a disciplinary report submitted by the Associação Portuguesa de Árbitros de Futebol (APAF) to the CD of the FPF.

This restriction applies from two hours prior to the beginning to 60 minutes following the conclusion of the matches.
