Alejandro Garnacho will not be sanctioned by the FA. This opened an investigation after the publication on social networks of a photo of André Onana with “gorilla” emojis from the young Argentinian following the penalty saved by the goalkeeper during Manchester United-Copenhagen. He had to explain himself since it could have a racist nature. The federation decided not to take this matter any further, considering that the player’s arguments were enough to put an end to it.
“We are satisfied with Alejandro Garnacho’s explanation and the context it provides, so we will not initiate disciplinary proceedings on this occasion. However, we have reminded the player of their responsibilities regarding publications on social networks and in particular the use of emojis which can be interpreted in different ways. still recalled an FA spokesperson in comments reported by Sky Sports.
