Neymar Faces Suspension After Alleged FoulNeymar Faces Suspension After Alleged Foul Paris Saint-Germain forward Neymar faces a potential suspension after being accused of a violent foul during his team’s Ligue 1 match against Strasbourg on Wednesday. The incident occurred in the second half when Neymar challenged Strasbourg defender Alexander Djiku for a loose ball. Replays showed that Neymar went in with his studs raised, making contact with Djiku’s ankle. Djiku was forced to leave the pitch on a stretcher and was later diagnosed with a sprained ankle. The Strasbourg medical team claimed that the injury was caused by Neymar’s reckless challenge. After the match, Strasbourg manager Julien Stephan condemned Neymar’s actions, calling them “unacceptable.” “We are very disappointed with Neymar’s behavior,” Stephan said. “He put our player’s health at risk with his reckless tackle.” The French Football Federation (FFF) has since opened an investigation into the incident. If found guilty, Neymar could face a suspension of up to three games. Neymar has a history of disciplinary issues. He was suspended for three games by the FFF in 2018 after slapping a fan. He was also involved in a heated altercation with Marseille defender Alvaro Gonzalez last season, which led to a 10-game ban for Gonzalez. If Neymar is found guilty of violent conduct, it would be a major blow to Paris Saint-Germain’s hopes of winning the Ligue 1 title this season. The Brazilian star is the team’s talisman and one of the most influential players in the world. Neymar has already missed several games this season due to injury. A suspension would further deplete Paris Saint-Germain’s already thin squad. The suspension decision is expected to be made by the FFF’s disciplinary committee within the next few days.
