Brazilian star Neymar has been provisionally suspended for one match and could face a harsher final punishment, officials said Thursday after the striker received a red card during a fracas in Brazil’s Copa America loss to Colombia.

 

South American federation CONMEBOL’s disciplinary committee “provisionally suspended Neymar for one game after his behavior in the aftermath Brazil’s 1-0 defeat to Colombia, and will meet on Friday to decide the final punishment,” said a statement on the Copa America website.
