Mbappe loses appeal against three-match ban
France World Cup star Kylian Mbappe will sit out one further league game for Paris Saint- Germain after losing an appeal against a three – match suspension Monday .Mbappe , 19 , was handed the sanction for lashing out in retaliation at Teji Savanier during a feisty 4 – 2 win at Nimes on September 1 .
Savanier was handed a four -match ban for his role in the incident , a sanction that was also confirmed following appeals by both players , the French Football Federation ( FFF) announced .
Mbappe , who is being tipped to win the prestigious Ballon d ’ Or award in December , notably on account of his performances for Les Bleus in Russia last summer , has served two of his three matches so far .
He sat out a 4 – 0 home win over Saint Etienne and again on Sunday as PSG beat Rennes 3 – 1 away to reinforce their lead at the top of the table .
Mbappe will sit out PSG’ s next league outing , at home to Reims on Wednesday , and will be eligible to return for PSG ’ s trip to Nice on Saturday .
He did play and score in PSG’ s Champions League defeat at Liverpool last Tuesday as the suspension does not cover European games .
PSG hold a five – point lead over second -placed Lille after six league games of the season .
