Pretty clear that Gabriel thinks Henderson has said something way out of line. Both managers declined to comment and the FA are looking into it.

Missed it at the time, but my pal mailed me saying exactly this at the time and wondered if it'd blow up into another Suarez.

We'll see.

There are so many players, so at least few of them would have heard their conversation.

Obviously clueless speculation but the way Henderson keeps going at it at first then backs away when he realizes what Gabriel is actually saying makes me think its a misunderstanding.

He probably insulted his mother, sister or Jesus. All things trivialized in English but more sacred in Brazil.

Gabriel is such a twat regardless of this incident. I hope it's just a misunderstanding, I don't think Henderson is that stupid.

If investigations are starting to try to understand anything Henderson said, it could literally take years.

I'd be shocked if it was anything sinister but this is the point where everyone keeps schtum and waits for something more concrete.

I’m pretty sure most people in the UK react to anyone having a go at their family members. Not sure why you think they’d be more sensitive just as they’re Brazilian? Unless it’s Neymar and his sister…

Does seem unlikely of Henderson of what they are claiming. He's in all those ads for Premier League about "Kick It Out" and the like.

For the ref to go over and speak to the managers, and now to be getting investigated it must be more serious than your usual bickering.

Having watched that video a few times it looks like its this:

“Dear Lord, what a sad little life, Gabriel. You've ruined our night, completely, so you could have the money, but I hope now you spend it on getting some lessons in grace and decorum because you have all the grace of a reversing dump truck without any tyres on.”
