Flamengo's Mauricio Isla to be fined for 'partying when sick' | OneFootball

Flamengo defender Mauricio Isla is set to be fined for attending a nightclub after he declared himself sick and unable to play at the weekend.

The fine was announced by the club on Monday and, speaking to the press, Vice President Marcos Braz explained that the club are not taking the Chilean’s actions lightly.

“It will have serious consequences,” said Braz.

“We will talk and hear what the player has to say, but it is unacceptable for him to report something to the Medical Department that takes him out of a game, in good faith, and it not be true.”

The 33-year-old reportedly told the club’s medical department he was suffering from Covid-19 symptoms but later posted pictures of himself at a nightclub.

“Tuesday, the player will be duly warned, fined and will have to clarify the reports passed on to the Medical Department,” read a statement from the club.

Flamengo went on to draw in their game against Resende on Sunday with manager Paulo Sousa questioning his squad’s ‘mindset’.
