SAO PAULO (Reuters) - The goalkeeper who served part of a 22-year sentence for murder before returning to football in April has been ordered back to prison, Brazil's Supreme Court ruled on Tuesday. Bruno Fernandes handed himself in to police after the court ruled the decision to release him was 'unviable.' Brazil's Supreme Court ruled by three votes to one earlier in the day to overturn a February appeal ruling that allowed Fernandes to leave jail. "The decision reestablishes Bruno’s custody," the court said in a statement. Fernandes's lawyer, Lucio Adolfo da Silva, was quoted as saying by the UOL website that the player would appeal the court's decision.
