Indoors In Club América the annoyance continues due to the action of Jesús Gallardo against Brian Rodríguez which ended in a serious injury to the Uruguayan striker. However, it recently became known that the idea that the Águilas had been considering to request a disqualification against the Monterrey player was increasingly losing strength.
The Mexican defender committed a foul in which he ended up falling on Brian Rodríguez’s foot during the weekend match corresponding to matchday 14 of the Apertura 2023 tournament of the Liga MX that ended with a 3-0 win for América over the Rayados. This action generated a forceful response from both managers and players of América against Jesús Gallardo.
But according to a report from Fox Sports Mexico It is expected that the Águilas del América will not go ahead with the idea of requesting a disqualification of the side before the Aztec soccer authoritiestaking into account that they have not found a way to prove that the Monterrey player acted with bad intentions to injure the Uruguayan.
This was announced by journalist Rubén Rodríguez from Fox Sports México, who considered that The situation between Jesús Gallardo and América is going to remain in “words”after the strong statements made after the game by Brian Rodríguez himself, revealing Gallardo’s bad faith in committing the harsh tackle, or that of Jonathan dos Santos, who also questioned the Rayados defender.
“America is not going to ask for Gallardo to be disqualified. He is not going to ask for it because there is no evidence, there is no footage, anything that can tell them that there was bad intention. For this reason, América is not going to request the disqualification of the Rayados de Monterrey player. I imagine that he will remain in words, gestures and statements “commented Rubén Rodríguez.
The annoyance of Club América due to Jesús Gallardo’s harsh tackle against Brian Rodríguez was generated taking into account the moment in which it occurred during the match played on Sunday in which The Águilas won without mitigating factors against Monterrey (0-3) and the Uruguayan striker scored two of his team’s three goals.
Additionally, in America they still do not know how long Brian Rodríguez will have to be off the field, who is having a good Apertura 2023 tournament, adding four goals with which he has done his bit to keep the Águilas in first place with 33 points after 14 days. Those led by Brazilian André Jardine have 10 wins, three draws and just one defeat.
According to the main reports made by Club América, the Uruguayan striker was expected to miss the remainder of the season, including the league. However, there is a small hope that Brian Rodríguez will finally be out for about six weeks so he could compete in the postseason.
