Mattéo Guendouzi has been banned by Uefa from Fenerbahce’s first two Champions League games for provocations and insults in a heated playoff win at Lyon in his native France.
Guendouzi, a former player at Lyon’s great rival Marseille, was at the heart of incidents before and after Fenerbahce’s 2-1 win on 26th August including a mass brawl. The result sent the Turkish club into the Champions League for the first time in 18 years.
Guendouzi, 27, will miss Fenerbahce hosting Roma next Thursday and a visit to Aston Villa on 14th October.
Fenerbahce forward Mason Greenwood had a one-game ban deferred for one year of probation for his involvement, Uefa said in disciplinary verdicts announced late Friday. Associated Press
