Orenburg has confirmed disciplinary measures for Jordhy Thompson, who has failed to join his team for preseason training. The player remains in Chile, with club president Kirill Volzhenkin citing issues with his migratory documents as the reason for his absence.
Volzhenkin stated that Thompson should return soon and assured that the player "will be fined." He emphasized that the club's policy on such matters remains unchanged, regardless of the player's delay in rejoining the team. Thompson's absence began around June 15, meaning he is nearly a month behind the rest of the squad.
He should return soon to Orenburg. He and his family have problems with their documents. I hope he returns soon with us.
Adding to the uncertainty, Thompson, who was sold to Orenburg in mid-2024, is reportedly a target for Colo Colo. Anรญbal Mosa, president of Blanco y Negro, confirmed that they have requested permission from Orenburg to negotiate with the forward. Thompson has a contract with the Russian club until 2027, and Colo Colo requires Orenburg's approval to proceed with any deal, but they have not yet received a response.
He will be fined. Our policy on this remains unchanged, regardless of the player's delay in joining the team.
