Palmeiras seek deal with STJD to prevent Vitor Roque ban, find out more | OneFootball

Palmeiras does not want to lose Vitor Roque, one of its main players, for the final stretch of the season. Fearing a suspension for the striker, the club has offered the Superior Tribunal of Sports Justice (STJD) a disciplinary transaction agreement for the number 9.

The STJD has scheduled the trial of Vitor Roque for next Monday, November 17, due to a homophobic-themed publication. If the body accepts the agreement proposed by Palmeiras, the session in question will be removed from the agenda. In this way, the suspension would be replaced by another type of punishment and the striker would not miss Palmeiras' matches.

Vitor Roque is a definite absence for Palmeiras in this Saturday's game. The striker is with the Brazilian National Team for two friendlies, against Senegal and Tunisia. He will return after the FIFA date on President Leila Pereira's plane and should be available for the match against Vitória, brought forward from the 37th round of the Brasileirão.

The request will go through the Prosecutor's Office and a full panel auditor. The information was published by Uol.

What happened?

Vitor Roque was reported because of a provocative post aimed at São Paulo after the comeback victory, 3-2, in the Choque-Rei played at Morumbis. On that occasion, Vitor Roque posted an image, deleted minutes later, of a tiger biting the neck of a deer, and, due to its homophobic nature, was charged under article 243-G of the Brazilian Code of Sports Justice.
