Victor Gabriel of Internacional Porto Alegre banned following serious foul

Victor Gabriel from Internacional Porto Alegre has been handed a suspension by the Brazilian sports court after a serious foul on Cruzeiro’s Gabriel Pec. The court ruled that Gabriel must sit out for at least six matches, starting immediately, until Pec is medically cleared to return to play. Pec suffered a broken shin from the tackle. This unique suspension model ties penalties to the recovery time of the injured player, capped at 180 days. Gabriel expressed remorse for the incident, attributing it to a slippery pitch and loss of control. Cruzeiro anticipates Pec's recovery will take three to four months.
