A month after being punished with a two-year suspension, Gabigol gets a decision in favor and could be available in Flamengo’s next game
After a month of the punishment suffered, the attacker Gabriel Barbosa achieved a suspensive effect that temporarily releases him to return to work for the Flamengo in the next weeks. The decision was announced this Tuesday, 30th, by the Court of Arbitration for Sport, in Switzerland, and was taken unanimously by the respective judges.

After the decision in favor, Gabriel spoke out through his social networks to celebrate his return to the field, even if it was a temporary decision. The publication was a video of a doll wearing the red-black number 10 shirt running in the Maracanã stadium. This way, the athlete will be able to perform normally until the final judgment date, which has not yet been scheduled.
It is worth remembering that Gabigol has been going through a turbulent contract renewal process in recent months. The player has a contract until the end of this season, and has not yet reached an agreement for an extension, despite being able to sign a pre-contract from July. Even if the parties are far from reaching an agreement, the tendency is for them to reach a common denominator in the future.
