Neymar suspended for three matches after Bahia red card
Santos
Brazil's Superior Sports Justice Tribunal has suspended Neymar for three matches after the red card he received late in the first half of Santos' 1-1 draw with Bahia. Two of the games relate to his behaviour towards opponent Rodrigo Nestor, and one to accumulated yellow cards. The player covered his mouth during the argument with Nestor, a gesture banned under the so-called Prestianni law, and after being sent off he tried to head back towards the Bahia bench before his teammates stopped him. He also faces a fine of 20,000 euros. He will miss the games against Palmeiras, Red Bull Bragantino and Coritiba, and is expected to return against Gremio after the November international break, unless his appeals are accepted.
