Brazil captain Neymar, has been “provisionally suspended” for one game, after he was shown a red card during their 1-0 loss to Colombia in the Copa America.
South American federation CONMEBOL’s disciplinary committee, are set to meet on Friday “to decide the final punishment”, but the striker will definitely miss their last group match against Venezuela.
Neymar received his second yellow card of the tournament, just before half-time for handball and was later sent off after the final whistle for kicking the ball at an opponent.
The Copa America’s website had initially claimed it was a two-match ban, but later corrected it.
If the Selecao forward eventually gets a two-game suspension, he will also miss a potential quarter-final clash. .
