Paris Saint-Germain defender Nuno Mendes has been issued a suspension of three games by the LFP Disciplinary Committee. The penalty follows a red card received during the French Super Cup fixture. The Portuguese international was sent off in the 87th minute of the contest, which resulted in a 1-0 defeat against Lens.
The dismissal occurred after Mendes executed a tackle on Michał Skoras near the midfield area. This disciplinary action means the 24-year-old will be unavailable for the opening Ligue 1 match for psg against Rennes, which is scheduled to take place at the Roazhon Park stadium. Furthermore, Mendes will miss the subsequent two league fixtures against Lille and Monaco.
This extended absence presents a notable challenge for coach Luis Enrique at the commencement of the new season. In related disciplinary news, Lens player Kyllian Antonio has also been handed a suspension spanning two matches. The suspension for Mendes significantly impacts the squad depth available to psg as they begin their league campaign.
The committee’s ruling dictates his absence for the next three competitive matches, requiring the club to adjust its tactical planning immediately.
