On Wednesday, the Fenerbahçe midfielder, after repeated provocations that angered the crowd, Lyon’s players and staff, was heading for the dressing room when Ferreira attacked him.

With a UEFA sanction still to come, he was not named on the team sheet.

His assistant, Rui Faria, oversaw the warm-up.
