Memphis Depay warned by the STJD for using phone on the bench; why | OneFootball

The 2nd Disciplinary Committee of the Superior Court of Sports Justice (STJD) issued a warning to Memphis Depay for using a cell phone on the bench during the draw between Corinthians and Flamengo in the Brazilian Championship on March 22 at Neo Química Arena.

The No. 10 could have been charged under Article 258 of the Brazilian Code of Sports Justice (CBJD), which could have resulted in up to six matches of suspension for the act. According to the article, any conduct contrary to sports discipline or ethics is subject to punishment.

According to Band, the STJD chose not to punish Memphis Depay, accepting the defense’s request, and imposed a fine of R$ 1,000, which was ultimately converted into a warning. The decision was based on the CBF competition regulations.

No suspension

As a result, Memphis Depay will not serve any suspension. At the moment, he is unable to play due to recovery from a thigh injury. There is still no timetable for the Dutchman’s return, and he is under contract with Corinthians until the middle of the season.

Corinthians make their Libertadores debut this Thursday (09) against Platense at 9 p.m. in Argentina. Without the No. 10, coach Fernando Diniz also has other absences. The Corinthians coaching staff will not be able to count on the following players for the match: center-back João Pedro Tchoca (pubalgia – ge.globo), right-back Pedro Milans (muscle discomfort – André Hernan), defensive midfielder Charles (ankle knock – ge.globo), in addition to forwards Kaio César (perifibrotic inflammation resulting from a muscle injury in the right thigh) and Gui Negão (grade 2 muscle injury in the right thigh).
