In December of last year, Sandro obtained a domestic driver’s license, but the issuance of the driver’s license was delayed due to the migration and update of the new driver’s license system in the state of Para, Brazil. A government document regarding this has been submitted to the club.
The federation, which was reported about the incident, decided to suspend Sandro’s activities for 60 days according to the rules and hold a reward and punishment committee later. Depending on the result of the reward and punishment committee, additional disciplinary action of up to 90 days may be imposed.
Sandro joined Gwangju FC, which belonged to K-League 2 last year, and contributed to the promotion of the team by scoring 7 goals and 4 assists. He has recorded one goal and two assists in 12 games this season.
This is a big bad news for Gwangju FC, which is in 9th place with 4 wins, 2 draws, 7 losses and 14 points this season.
