Angel di Maria: Paris St-Germain forward banned for four matches after Marseille defeat

Paris St-Germain forward Angel di Maria has been banned for four matches for his role in a bad-tempered Ligue 1 defeat by Marseille on 13 September.

Di Maria, 32, was accused of spitting at Marseille defender Alvaro Gonzalez during a match in which five players were also sent off after a late brawl.

The Argentina international was one of seven PSG players to test positive for coronavirus before the season.

The league did not confirm his ban was for spitting.
