FA has announced how long Darwin Nunez could get banned after the fight with the fans. This could be the end of his career. 😰
Liverpool’s Darwin Nunez could face a significant suspension following a violent clash with Colombian fans during the Copa America semi-final. The situation might escalate if FIFA steps in.
The altercation occurred after Uruguay’s 1-0 defeat to Colombia, sparking a post-match skirmish between the families of Uruguayan players and Colombian supporters. Nunez allegedly threw punches and attempted to throw a chair at the fans before being restrained.
This incident has cast a shadow over Nunez’s career, drawing comparisons to former Tottenham player Eric Dier, who received a four-match ban for confronting abusive fans in defense of his brother. Given the gravity of Nunez’s actions, he could face a more severe penalty.
While CONMEBOL has been criticized for the tournament’s poor organization, this does not diminish the potential consequences for Nunez.
Football Insider reports that if FIFA becomes involved, Nunez, 25, might receive a lengthy suspension, which could significantly impact Liverpool’s plans for the upcoming season. This would be a major setback for new Liverpool manager Arne Slot, who plans to integrate Nunez into his team. An extended suspension would impede Nunez’s development and disrupt Liverpool’s strategic preparations.
