“The player joined the group for training on May 27, but after being evaluated by the medical and technical staff, the decision was made jointly for him to return home as a precaution, with his well-being and long-term care in mind first.

“We deeply appreciate Junior’s commitment to the Dominican Republic and to his country. We hope to see him again soon, defending our colours with the heart he always brings to every call-up.”
