Wednesday evening during the success at the end of the suspense (2-1) of PSG against Strasbourg, Neymar received two yellow cards in quick succession before being expelled by Clément Turpin in the 63rd minute of the match.

Neymar suspended for several matches?
According to his disciplinary record, Neymar risks between one and two games of suspension after his expulsion against Strasbourg. If Christophe Galtier quickly recognized that the Brazilian deserved a warning for his simulation during his visit to the press conference, the PSG coach regretted the severe yellow in his eyes a few moments earlier for a hand in the face of an opponent .
The Parisian club took the time to review the images of the match this Thursday morning. The striker’s “cuff” on Adrien Thomasson in the 61st minute probably did not deserve a first warning. While a few moments before Gerzino Nyamsi made the same gesture, facing the Brazilian player, ultimately not sanctioned.
Neymar suffered 6 Strasbourg fouls, equaling his highest total in a meeting this season. His record in Ligue 1 being 9 fouls suffered, against Montpellier in February 2020.
As stated by the coach Christophe Galtier in the post-match conference, generally players with a profile like ‘Ney’ are not sufficiently protected. The Neymar file is now in the hands of the LFP Disciplinary Committee. With just one game suspended, the Brazilian would only miss the match against Lens but with several he could also miss the trip to Chateauroux in the Coupe de France.
