Brazilian defender suspended pending opponent’s recovery
The Supreme Court of Sports Justice in Brazil issued an unprecedented ruling to suspend Internacional Porto Alegre defender Victor Gabriel until the injured Cruzeiro player, Gabriel Pique, recovers. Pique was hurt after suffering a broken leg due to a violent tackle during the match. The committee based its decision on a legal provision allowing the suspension to be extended until the injured player recovers, without exceeding 180 days, given the severity of the injury that kept the player out of action for three to four months. Vocal criticism was directed at Gabriel for the injury, but he stated that he did not intend to cause harm, expressed regret, extended support to the injured player, and noted that his club might appeal the decision.
