According to the latest information, both players are believed to be cleared of the charge, and neither player has been charged by the Football Association (FA). After the second half of the Gunners’ encounter against Liverpool on Monday, two of the players got into a fight, and things quickly escalated.

Michael Oliver, the referee, handed the Arsenal team player Gabriel Magalhaes a penalty after the dramatic incident. The Football Association committee asked Gabrielle Magalhaes, Jordan Henderson, and six other members of the team to participate in a questioning session to investigate the situation.

The investigation revealed that Gabriel Magalhaes was upset about a comment he overheard on the field and that it had nothing to do with the other players, leading the committee to decide to drop all accusations against both players. The comment he heard turned out to be that of racism and the player got heated up.
