Paris Saint-Germain forward, Neymar has been handed a two-match ban after he was shown a red card in his side\u2019s Ligue 1 game against rivals Marseille.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Brazilian was one of the five players that were sent off in Sunday game that saw the Paris club lose 1-0 in the matchday two fixture, having also lost their opener.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following a brawl towards the end of the game at the Parc des Prince, A VAR review showed Neymar punched the back of Marseille defender Alvaro Gonzalez.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But Neymar has since claimed that his opponent racially abused him, and urged the authorities to use VAR to investigate. Gonzalez has however denied Neymar\u2019s claim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Ligue de Football Professionnel (LFP), the governing body of professional French football, has confirmed it will investigate Neymar\u2019s accusation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, the other four players sent off have also received bans \u2013 with PSG defender Layvin Kurzawa suspended for six matches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His team-mate Leandro Paredes has been banned for two games \u2013 while for Marseille, Jordan Amavi has received a three-match suspension and Dario Benedetto must sit out one game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Neymar\u2019s suspension means he missed Paris Saint-Germain\u2019s clash with Metz on Wednesday, and will also miss their next match.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
