Zimbabwean forward Tymon Machope, currently signed with Scotland FC, is facing backlash after reports emerged that he may have faked an injury to spend time with his girlfriend.
Machope missed Scotland FC’s recent 1-1 draw against Highlanders, with the club initially stating he was sidelined due to injury.
However, internal medical evaluations reportedly revealed no evidence of any physical ailment, raising eyebrows among fans and club officials alike.
As a result, the club has opted to sideline the striker, with sources suggesting it is a disciplinary response to the incident.
The controversy has since gone viral on social media, sparking a mixed reaction from the public.
While some users have joked about the situation, calling it amusing or even relatable, others have condemned Machope’s alleged conduct as unprofessional and a breach of sporting ethics.
The incident has reignited discussions around player discipline, with many urging Scotland FC to take firm action to maintain accountability and uphold the integrity of the club.
