MEXICO -- So far, America has not sent the Disciplinary Commission medical studies to open an investigation into the serious foul play committed by Antonio Briseño on Giovani dos Santos, which could result in the suspension of the Guadalajara defender.
Sources close to the Eagles assured ESPN Digital that there has been no submission so far, but it is not ruled out that it will be done in the next few hours, as it has always been at the request of the injured club to provide evidence for an investigation when the injured player takes longer than 15 days to recover.
At the moment, the Disciplinary Commission will sanction according to the referee's match report, which recorded the serious foul play and the direct red card to the Mexican defender, but the Mexico City team has not yet sent the official medical report which states: "After conducting an initial medical evaluation on Giovani dos Santos, the player has a wound in the right quadriceps. No bone injury is detected." The America's number 10 underwent surgery and is expected to recover in six weeks. He will be discharged from the hospital on Monday to start his recovery.
Antonio Briseño has apologized to the Azulcrema player on social media, while Chivas is willing to abide by the sanction imposed by the Disciplinary Commission. However, without a request from the injured party, he cannot be suspended pending an investigation.
