Brazil head coach Dunga has voiced his support for Manchester City forward Robinho after he was questioned following allegations of a serious sexual assault in Leeds. The British record signing was questioned by police on Tuesday and issued a statement on his website denying any "wrongdoing or criminality".
And, ahead of Brazil's friendly with Italy at Emirates Stadium on 10th February, Dunga has backed the former Real Madrid player.
"I have no reason to doubt the word of Robinho," said Dunga.
"He is a player on whom I have been able to count every time I have needed him and who has shown exemplary professional behaviour when he has been in the national squad."
Dunga assured Robinho that there was no threat to his place on Brazil’s roster for an exhibition game against Italy on Feb. 10 in London. “Robinho told Dunga that he’s a victim of an opportunist and that he has done everything necessary in the legal sense to clarify the matter, in which he had no participation,” the Brazilian Football Federation said on its Web site.
