PETALING JAYA: Velez Sarsfield coach Guillermo Barros Schelotto said that Malaysia's mixed-heritage player Imanol Machuca's suspension came at a time when the winger was in top form for the club in the Argentine top division.
The 25-year-old, who has been banned for 12 months from all football-related activities by FIFA, was stunned by the decision and is struggling to come to terms with being sidelined.
