MN: Why Camarda cannot play against Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League

The hype around Francesco Camarda after his debut has led some to question whether he might even take to the field against Borussia Dortmund on Tuesday night.

However, as MilanNews report there are several reasons that he cannot be called up against the Bundesliga side. Firstly, he got a red card in the UEFA Youth League game against PSG and that ban applies to all European fixtures regardless of level.

There is another aspect that should be underlined too: UEFA do not allow exceptions, as happens under the jurisdiction of the FIGC, with regards to the age of players who can be called up. He would not be eligible until he has reached the age of 16, and he must also have signed a professional contract.

These three things mean Camarda will not be able to play against Dortmund in either the Champions League or the Youth League because he must serve the suspension, and then wait a few more months.
