Videos posted on Instagram showed Fabián in the company of Venezuelan singer DJ Adso sipping shots of tequila just days after Juárez lost his third straight game, taking them to 16th place and just one point above the worst players in the Mexican league. Pachuca and Necaxa.
“We just finished an ugly week in which we lost three games in a row and of course we are not happy with that, so we have to show a disciplinary stance,” Cantu said.
After stints in Germany, MLS and Qatar, the 31-year-old Fabian was considered an important signing for the young club Bravos de Juárez. However, in 18 games spread over the Guard1anes 2020 and 2021 seasons, the attacking midfielder has yet to score and Juárez is again in danger of missing the playoffs after finishing 13th last season.
According to Cantú, Fabián will be placed in isolation for 10 days and will be examined before he is allowed to rejoin his teammates, presumably during the international break at the end of March and before the April 2 clash with Cruz Azul.
Fabian is not the first Liga MX player to be sanctioned for violating protocol during the COVID-19 pandemic. UNAM defender Alan Mozo, Cruz Azul forward Jonathan Rodríguez and Chivas winger Uriel Antuna have been some of the biggest names in unauthorized meetings during the health crisis, which has claimed more than 193,000 lives in just Mexico.
