Defender of São Paulo and the Ecuadorian national team, Arboleda was caught on a ‘night out’ with a Chelsea promise who was just 16 years old; read the statement
Robert Arboledawhich defends the São Paulo and the Ecuadorian team, got involved in a mess last week. The defender was spotted in a nightclub in the United States with his colleagues Kendry Páez (promise of Chelsea 16 years of age) and Gonzalo Plata (of Al Sadd).
The episode occurred on the night of the 2-0 defeat to Italy. Arboleda was seen next to a woman, showing a wad of money to the camera, knowing that he was being filmed. Furthermore, the defender mocked the criticism he received, saying on his Instagram that, from now on, he would “read the Bible on your days off”. The Federation of Ecuador broke its silence on the case.
