Gabri Veiga risks up to 10-game ban after Sporting's complaints | OneFootball

Sporting have filed a complaint against Gabri Veiga following the Spaniard’s challenge on Morten Hjulmand in the 15th minute of the second leg of the Portuguese Cup semi-final. The Dane could see his season put at risk due to a severe injury to his right ankle, while Porto’s number 10 faces a possible suspension of between one and ten matches, in accordance with Article 151 of the Disciplinary Regulations.

It is worth recalling that the incident was not flagged by referee Miguel Nogueira and also went unnoticed by the VAR, João Malheiro Pinto. Still under the same article, more specifically point 2, Gabri Veiga’s possible suspension could even be “maintained until the injured player has recovered and is able to resume his professional activity”, but for that to happen, the FC Porto player’s action that caused Hjulmand’s injury would have to be classified as a “deliberate assault”. The decision now lies in the hands of the members of the FPF Disciplinary Board.
