Alejandro Garnacho may likely be slammed with a ban by FA for his post on teammate Andre Onana.
On October 25, 2023, Alejandro Garnacho posted a photo of himself celebrating with Onana on Instagram. He included two gorilla emojis in the post, which were interpreted as racist by some.
Garnacho quickly deleted the post and apologized, but the Football Association (FA) is investigating the matter. The FA has a policy of taking a zero-tolerance approach to racism, and Garnacho could face a ban if he is found to have breached the rules.
The FA has not yet announced any decision on the matter, but it is expected to make a ruling in the coming weeks.
If Alejandro Garnacho is banned, it would be a significant setback for his career. He is a promising young player who has been tipped for a bright future, but a ban would damage his reputation and could hinder his development.
It is important to note that Garnacho has apologized for the post and has said that he did not mean to offend anyone. He is a young player who may not have been aware of the racist connotations of the gorilla emojis. However, this does not excuse his actions, and he will have to face the consequences of his behavior.
The incident is a reminder of the importance of education and awareness about racism. It is also a reminder that even the smallest act of racism can have a big impact.
Meanwhile, Andre Onana has defended the Argentina youngster saying he doesn’t take offense with the post and have asked the FA to halt the investigations.
