Palmeiras top scorer Vitor Roque may miss rest of Brasileirão | OneFootball

Why could Vitor Roque be suspended by the STJD?

The Superior Court of Sports Justice (STJD) has scheduled the trial of Vitor Roque, forward for Palmeiras, due to a homophobic post after the classic match against São Paulo. Therefore, the athlete could be suspended and no longer play in the Brasileirão 2025.

This is because the STJD's Prosecutor's Office charged Vitor Roque based on article 243-G of the Brazilian Code of Sports Justice (CBJD). The article addresses discrimination and provides for a penalty of five to ten matches. The information comes from the portal 'Leia em campo'.

Therefore, as there are six rounds remaining for Palmeiras in the Brazilian Championship, there is a possibility that Vitor Roque will not play in the national competition anymore. The forward will not be on the field on Saturday (15), against Santos, at Vila Belmiro.

Why is Vitor Roque out of the Palmeiras vs Santos game?

Currently, Vitor Roque is with the Brazilian National Team delegation in London, England. Carlo Ancelotti called up the forward for Brazil's next two friendlies, and therefore, he will miss the Palmeiras match against Santos.

Could Vitor Roque miss the Palmeiras vs Atlético-MG game?

Additionally, there is a possibility that the forward will not be present in the Palmeiras game against Atlético-MG. This is because the match is scheduled for Wednesday (19), one day after the Brazilian National Team's game.
