Brazilian forward, Neymar jr has been handed a one-match ban after being sent off during PSG’s 2-2 draw against rivals, Marseille last weekend.
He is set to miss PSG’s Ligue 1 clash with Nice this Friday.
Neymar was handed two yellow cards in quick succession for retaliation.
He earlier grabbed the equalizing goal for his team after they went down by a goal.
Edinson Cavani scored from a set-piece in the dying moments of the game to help PSG secure one point after the French side conceded the second goal.
Head coach Unai Emery has told his 25-year-old star to wise up to provocation tactics.
“He is intelligent. He is also aware that he must learn from what happened on Sunday,”
“I spoke to him about it before the match and we said not to get involved in any provocation. But on the pitch, with the intensity and the aggression, the players are people” he said.
Neymar was also given a further one-match suspended ban that will be activated should he be sent off again this season.
