Summerville faces Al-Hilal review after red card, club considering docking half his salary | OneFootball

Al-Hilal have delayed any decision on disciplining Crysencio Summerville after his red card in last Tuesday’s 2-1 win over Al-Gharafa in the AFC Champions League Elite opener.

According to Goal.com, the club will wait for the referee and AFC reports and review extra footage before deciding. A fine of up to 50% of his salary could be imposed if his offence is proven, mirroring a sanction previously given to Kalidou Koulibaly.

Trouble began in the 33rd minute when Al-Gharafa’s Abdulrahman Fayez clashed off the ball with Summerville. The Dutchman reacted by forcefully shoving him off the pitch.

Al-Gharafa winger Ismael Bennacer then pulled Summerville by the hair, sparking a melee involving players and substitutes from both sides. The referee showed red cards to Summerville and Bennacer before play resumed.

Summerville, 24, joined Al-Hilal from England’s West Ham last summer in a deal worth 64.50 million euros.
