His unauthorized excursion, including disregard of the Corona requirements, costs Mönchengladbach’s striker Breel Embolo dearly. According to the club, the Swiss have to dig deep into their pockets.
Borussia Mönchengladbach’s striker Breel Embolo must for his nightly violation of corona requirements Pay a heavy fine within the club. The Bundesliga team announced on Tuesday. Most recently, there was speculation in the media about a fine of around 200,000 euros for Embolo.
“With his careless and wrong behavior the night after the Bundesliga match in Stuttgart, Breel violated the rules that apply to everyone in our country and compliance with which is a prerequisite for us as a Bundesliga club to play,” said sports director Max Eberl. “We have therefore decided that he will have to pay a fine that hits him hard.”
The 23-year-old has accepted the sentence according to the notification. According to the Essen police, the Swiss international took part in an illegal party with 23 guests in a restaurant on Lake Baldeney. One person had fled over the roof to a nearby apartment when the officers arrived. In this one Embolo was found alone.
Embolo assures that he was not a party guest. He visited a friend to watch basketball together. “We believe that he wasn’t part of a party,” coach Marco Rose said.
It was only in December that Embolo’s storm colleague Marcus Thuram had to pay a club-internal record fine of 150,000 euros after spat on his opponent Stefan Posch (Hoffenheim).
