Getafe defender Alexis has been hit with a four-match suspension after he was sent off in his team's contest with Valladolid over the weekend.
Alexis was issued a red card in the 76th minute after delivering an elbow to Valladolid's Patrick Ebert, which would normally carry a one-match ban.
But he was handed an additional two games for his protestations toward match officials, and another match for spitting into the crowd as he left the field.
