After scandal over photos with drugs and alcohol, Matías Abaldo apologises | OneFootball

Independiente forward Matías Abaldo, who in recent hours had become the center of criticism due to photos of his apartment that were shared on social media by a Uruguayan singer, in which marijuana and alcohol could be seen, apologized and assured that at no time did he engage in actions that would harm his health.

“I wanted to apologize and explain to the Independiente fans what happened in the last few hours regarding some images that went viral on social media,” began the statement published by the former Gimnasia player on his Instagram account.

He continued: “I am friends with @elmenoragustin and he filmed a video for a new song in my apartment. At no time did I engage in actions that would harm my professional health.”

The images referenced by the forward had been posted on the same social network by singer Agustín Rodríguez, born in Canelones, who visited the 21-year-old attacker’s home. In one of those photos, marijuana, alcohol, and dollars can be seen on a table, which sparked outrage among many Rojo supporters.

In the story he posted as an apology, the Defensor Sporting youth product also referred to the team’s current situation under Gustavo Quinteros, who are last in zone B and two games away from matching the worst winless streak in their history:

The winger arrived at the Avellaneda club in the middle of this year to strengthen one of the positions that most concerned then-coach Julio Vaccari. However, he has yet to prove his worth and has not scored any goals in the ten matches he has played this semester. His loan extends until June 2026.
