Corinthians to punish Allan for red card, debate details with legal team | OneFootball

Midfielder Allan will be punished by Corinthians after the controversial sending-off during the defeat to Fluminense in the Brasileirão. According to information published by UOL, the club’s board is already in talks with the legal department about the format of the sanction, in order to protect itself regarding the maximum percentage of salary deduction allowed by law.

The report also explains that Osmar Stabile and Marcelo Paz are expected to define the punishment by the weekend, and it will have both financial and administrative consequences, including a salary deduction. It is still being discussed whether the penalty will be applied at the maximum level or with some flexibility. However, coach Dorival Júnior does not want a sporting punishment.

In a statement published on his Instagram profile, the No. 29 acknowledged the mistake and apologized to his teammates, the fans, the coaching staff, and also the players of the opposing team, stressing the respect and responsibility that come with wearing the Corinthians shirt.

The sending-off

The whole situation involving Allan’s sending-off happened in the second half of the match played at the Maracanã. After a disagreement with Fluminense’s Lucho Acosta and slapping the opponent’s arm, the Corinthians player was shown a yellow card. The VAR review, however, caught the moment when the player grabbed his genitals and shook them in Serna’s direction. The referee was called to the monitor and then showed a red card.

What’s next

After the heavy defeat in Rio de Janeiro, Timão return to the field this Sunday (05) at 7:30 p.m. to face Internacional at Neo Química Arena in Itaquera.

Without a win in eight matches, coach Dorival Júnior is under pressure and could say goodbye to Corinthians in the event of another negative result. With 10 points earned, Alvinegro currently sit in 11th place in the Brazilian Championship table.
