FIFA could seriously punish Uruguayan international players Edinson Cavani and Jose Maria Jimenez. They will face suspensions of up to six months for incidents at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
The Uruguayan team failed to qualify from the group stage for the playoffs. He beat Ghana 2-0 in the final match, although in the end he had to score at least one more goal to overcome the South Korean team. According to the players of the Uruguay national team, at the end of the meeting, the referee did not award a penalty against the African team.
After the final whistle Cavani kicked the VAR monitor, and Jimenez accidentally punched a FIFA representative. From Zurich, where the FIFA headquarters are located, they asked the Uruguayan Football Federation for an explanation. The final decision of the FIFA Disciplinary Committee will not be known until the end of February.
According to the available punishment options, Cavani and Jimenez could receive a ban for 10-15 matches for the national team, or they will be suspended for the same period at their clubs: Cavani for Valencia and Jimenez for Atlético.
