Allan charged by the STJD, could miss up to six games for Corinthians | OneFootball

Defensive midfielder Allan will be tried by the Superior Court of Sports Justice (STJD) this Friday (24) after being charged over an obscene gesture during a Brazilian Championship match. The information was first reported by GE.

The incident took place in Corinthians’ 3-1 loss to Fluminense on April 1, at the Maracanã, in the ninth round of the competition. On that occasion, the midfielder got involved in a disagreement with an opponent and was eventually sent off after a video assistant referee (VAR) review.

The STJD Prosecutor’s Office charged the player under Article 258 of the Brazilian Code of Sports Justice (CBJD), which deals with conduct contrary to discipline or sporting ethics. The penalty ranges from a one- to six-match suspension.

Allan has already served the automatic suspension in the following round, but he is now awaiting trial, which could extend the period he remains sidelined. If he receives a harsher punishment, the defensive midfielder could become unavailable for Corinthians in the remainder of the Brazilian Championship.

After the episode, the player spoke publicly and apologized for his behavior. In a social media post, he acknowledged the mistake and said the behavior is unjustifiable, even given the emotional context of a match. Internally, the club also fined the athlete.

The case comes just a few days after a similar situation involving defensive midfielder André, who was also sent off for an obscene gesture in the derby against Palmeiras. At trial, the player received a one-match suspension, which has already been served.

While awaiting the STJD’s decision, Corinthians remain focused on the season’s commitments. The team’s next match will be against Vasco on Sunday (26), at 4 p.m. (Brasília time), in the 13th round of the Brazilian Championship, at Neo Química Arena.
