PRO statement on Abada caution

As reported by Phil West on BlueSky:

PRO explanation on the Liel Abada yellow (rather than red) card: "He received a yellow card for a reckless challenge. Both the call on the field and the VAR check deemed the action did not rise to the level of serious foul play, as he made contact with his forearm while tucking his arm in."

Um yeah, tucking the arm in is how you lead with the elbow.
