Belgian footballer Dante Vancier is currently not training and playing for American club New York Red Bulls. The 24-year-old attacker, who has only been playing football in the US for two months, is away from the club “until further notice” because of the racist riots. It means he is laid to rest.
Wanseer allegedly made a racist comment to opponent Jeremy Ebobisse during last Saturday’s game against the San José Earthquakes. The match was stopped for about 20 minutes due to the commotion on the ground. Vancier, who until recently played in the Belgian league at Union, publicly apologized in a statement on Monday.
The Belgian player, who once played for the ‘Red Devils’, said, “I take full responsibility for my actions. “While my language meant no harm or offense, I know I did, and I am deeply sorry.”
Wanseer addressed his New York Red Bulls teammates on Tuesday. “To avoid further distraction, he will not remain with the club until further notice,” the New York team said in a statement.
