“Byron has been summoned to a hearing and will not attend. In fact, we have already submitted the letter informing FIFA that the player will not attend, that he will not expose himself to that theater that the Chilean federation’s lawyer wants to put together “expressed the lawyer in the Area 88 program of the Radioactiva radio station in Guayaquil.
“I will not lend my client for another (Eduardo) Carlezzo media show. He will not appear at that hearing either in person or telematically. I have sent FIFA a letter, respectfully telling them that Byron does not have to attend the hearing. Of course, I clarified a couple of things that seemed relevant to me. He won’t be at the hearing, and I won’t even be there. He does not proceed. Byron is very calm and focused. He is summoned to the next preparation friendlies, which confirms that barring an injury he will be in the World Cup. The hearing is tomorrow and the resolution will come out at the end of September. Sure, then they will continue with the case at the TAS… I have no doubts”he added.
On the other hand, he assured that Peru has priority to go to the World Cup if the Ecuadorian team is sanctioned. ″I do not see that FIFA manages to put Chile in the position of Ecuador, Peru has to go up, which would have to go directly to the World Cup. Colombia would go through to the playoffs, but would the Australians have to play once more? If they already beat Peru”.
“You already have the groups where Ecuador is, and the three teams are going to say that they are ready to play once morest Ecuador, not Peru, and in the group where Australia is, they are going to say now I have to wait for a playoff to see if Colombia enters. I don’t see that there that kind of abrupt decision”, he finished.
