Fluminense raised a request to CONMEBOL to annul the expulsion of Marcelo

Fluminense will present in CONMEBOL a formal request to annul the expulsion of the side Marcelo, who broke the knee of the Argentinos Juniors player, Luciano Sanchez, considering that the move was “without bad intention” and “unfortunate”. The return match will be played at the Maracana stadium on Tuesday, August 8 and the carioca team aspires to have the experienced side, with a long career in Real Madrid.Despite his intention, the referee’s decision was forceful and the expulsion will not be removed, which was so serious that the image of the blow traveled the whole world and players of the stature of Cristiano Ronaldo and Vinicius Juniors expressed about it. Argentinos Juniors and Fluminense drew 1-1 at the Diego Armando Maradona stadium in the first leg of the knockout stages of the Copa Libertadores, but the highlight of the match was the stomp that Luciano Sánchez received, for which his leg bent and he suffered a rupture of posterior and anterior cruciate ligaments. After observing that fateful play in the VAR, the referee of the match, Piero Maza, sent off the experienced footballer, who did not even protest and left the field alone. “Today I had to live a very difficult moment on the field. I have inadvertently injured a colleague. I want to wish you the best possible recovery Luciano Sánchez All the strength in the world!”, Marcelo said on his social networks.
