Matías Abaldo apologises after drugs and alcohol photo scandal | OneFootball

The forward from Independiente, Matías Abaldo, who recently found himself at the center of criticism due to photos of his apartment shared on social media by a Uruguayan singer, showing marijuana and alcohol, apologized and assured that he never engaged in actions that would harm his health.

“I wanted to apologize and explain to the Independiente fans what happened recently 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 were 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 are seen on a table, which sparked outrage among many fans of the Rojo.

In the story he posted as an apology, the player who emerged from Defensor Sporting also referred to the current state of Gustavo Quinteros' team, which is last in zone B and two games away from matching the worst winless streak in its history:

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