L’Equipe: Joao Neves’s ban could be extend to national team competitions

Luis Enrique and Joao Neves still not sure about the possible punishment after their bad actions against Chelsea

Paris Saint-Germain coach Luis Enrique, who took Chelsea striker Joao Pedro after the 3-0 defeat in the club World Cup final, and Joao Neves, which was sent with a red card, could be punished.

What are the risks for Luis Enrique, who attacked Joao Pedro after the last whistle, or Joao Neves, who was sent away in the 86th minute for pulling the hair of Marc Cucurella and their attitude at the end of Sunday's game? The disciplinary sanctions imposed by the World Cup club would not be followed in other club or international competitions. Fifa was more careful after the final.

Based on the reports of the officials, including the referee, the disciplinary committee of the world organ will decide whether or not an investigation will be opened in the coming days. If so, sanctions would be possible, with a very wide range, from fines to suspension. And if it wishes, this could ask in the case of a suspension to extend it to other club or national team competitions. But from Monday it was too early to know what FIFA would decide.
