Disciplinary action looms for Gyokeres after missing training | OneFootball

Following the confirmed absence of Viktor Gyökeres on the day Sporting departed for their training camp in the Algarve - which runs until July 21st -Frederico Varandas has spoken out about the Swedish striker’s situation.

Sporting president Frederico Varandas has confirmed that Gyökeres will face disciplinary action after failing to report for training on Saturday.

The 27-year-old was due to return for pre-season that day, having previously been granted permission by the club to join up later than the rest of the squad.

Arsenal remain in talks to sign Gyökeres but have yet to reach an agreement on the proposed £69 million deal.

Spaking to Agência Lusa, Varandas said: "We're calm. Everything can be solved with the closure of the market, a hefty fine and an apology to the group.

“If they don't want to pay Viktor’s fair market value, we'll be very comfortable with that for the next three years.

“If the geniuses who are devising this strategy think that this puts pressure on me to make it easier for him to leave, not only are they completely wrong, but they are also making it more complicated for the player to leave. No one is above the interests of the club. Whoever they are."
