The 23-year-old midfielder, widely regarded as one of the club’s standout performers this season, was notified earlier this week after samples collected following last month’s league fixture were reviewed by league authorities. According to the statement released by the club, Gomes has been placed on provisional suspension pending a full investigation.
Club officials said they are cooperating fully with the league’s disciplinary committee while awaiting confirmatory testing and the outcome of the hearing process.
“This is an unexpected and difficult situation for everyone involved,” the statement read. “The club remains committed to due process and will refrain from further comment until proceedings are complete.”
Supporters reacted with disbelief across social media, with many expressing support for the midfielder while others called for patience until the investigation is concluded.
Gomes has denied knowingly taking any banned substance through his representatives, stating that he intends to contest the findings.
The suspension means the midfielder is set to miss several crucial fixtures while the investigation continues. A formal hearing date is expected to be announced in the coming days.
