Emiliano Martínez has apologized for being suspended for Argentina’s two World Cup qualifying matches.
Martínez will miss Argentina’s two World Cup qualifying matches against Venezuela and Bolivia due to suspension. He is suspended for his gesture with the Copa America trophy.
The goalkeeper took to his social media and posted the following:
“I accept the sanction from FIFA and I apologize if I offended anyone, the moment of celebration is to make many kids smile and not to disrespect anyone. I will support my friends in this FIFA date with the pain of not being able to be there.
“It was never my intention to disrespect anyone, nor did I understand that a gesture well received by people was offensive, but I will try not to offend anyone anymore and just focus on winning titles with Argentina and Aston Villa.”
