And, so to speak, it is right to say that the athlete is free to exercise his professional role until the present moment, source of his livelihood and his family, in a full and unrestricted manner, whether for his club or for the national team of his country of origin.

In view of the above, and in view of the facts reported by the English Federation, the CBF, supported by the opinion prepared jointly by the Legal, Governance and Compliance Directorates and the Integrity Unit, decides to maintain the player's call-up.
