Brazil Suspends Defender Until Opponent Recovers After Serious Injury Tackle

Brazil Suspends Defender Until Opponent Recovers After Serious Injury TacklePreviousNext

Brazil's Superior Court of Sports Justice suspended Internacional defender Victor Gabriel until Cruzeiro forward Gabriel Pec recovers from a fractured left tibia sustained during a Serie A match. The ban, capped at six months, reflects the injury's severity beyond a standard red card. Victor expressed remorse, denying malicious intent. The court also questioned the authenticity of audio evidence submitted by Internacional, which was later acknowledged as sourced from social media, not official VAR recordings. The ruling is subject to appeal.
