French teenage sensation Kylian Mbappe was suspended for three matches after his red card against Nimes last weekend, the French league announced on Wednesday last.
The 19-year-old, who also scored in the 4-2 win, was sent off for pushing over Teji Savanier after the Nimes player hacked him to the ground.
The French champions will be without Mbappe for Ligue 1 games against Saint-Etienne on Sep 14, Rennes on Sep 23 and Reims three days later.
The ban does not affect Mbappe’s participation in PSG’s mouthwatering Champions League opener against last season’s runners-up Liverpool at Anfield on Tuesday, Sep 18.
Savanier, who was also dismissed by referee Jerome Brisard after the incident, has been handed a five-match suspension.
Mbappe had already been booked in the first half of the encounter last Saturday for taking the ball away before a Nimes free-kick.
