Official – Nuno Mendes suspended, the verdict is in! | OneFootball

The Professional Football League’s disciplinary committee met this evening to decide the various sanctions to be handed down following the latest matches in French professional football. One of the cases involved Nuno Mendes, the 23-year-old Paris Saint-Germain left-back, who received a straight red card on Sunday during the Trophée des Champions defeat to Lens. He was therefore automatically set to be suspended for one match, and the LFP decided to add two more matches.

It is a real blow for PSG, who will be without an important player at the start of their season against Rennes, Lille, and Monaco. Big matches that were also supposed to help Nuno Mendes build momentum. He will return for the start of the Champions League (Wednesday, September 9), without having played. The decision seems even harsher given that the referee wrote in his report that the blow was struck off the ball, even though play was clearly ongoing. It proves costly.
