On Aug. 25, media personality Li Xuan reported that Dorado, a focal point of the Chinese Super League, is feared to face a ban of up to 10 to 14 months and a fine of at least 300,000 yuan.

[Manning's Injury] Manning did suffer physical injuries after taking a hard hit, mainly focusing on three parts of his shoulder, neck and waist with contusions. In order to restore his health, Manning has received physical therapy several times this week and has been told to avoid strenuous exercise for the time being. In light of Manning's upcoming involvement in World Cup enforcement, he switched to video assistant referee this weekend.

According to Article 48(1) of the CFA Disciplinary Rules, Dorado's behavior meets the criteria of "violation of discipline occurs during a stoppage of play or in a no-ball state" and "the circumstances are serious and cause adverse social impact". Therefore, Dorado's behavior met the criteria for an aggravating circumstance, including "aggravated circumstances, adverse social impact, and serious consequences," "the disciplinary infraction was an act of retaliation," and "caused bodily injury or health damage to the target," among others. or damage to the health of the target".
[Final Conclusion] Based on the above analysis, Dorado could face a 10 to 14 month ban and a fine of no less than 300,000 RMB. The CFA will announce the final decision on the punishment as soon as tomorrow.
