GHANA’S SALIS AHMED HANDED 3-MATCH SUSPENSION FOR DANGEROUS TACKLE ON ACHRAF HAKIMI

Ghana midfielder Abdul Salis Samed has been slapped with a three-match suspension after being red-carded for a tackle on Achraf Hakimi.

Hakimi and Samed both started for their teams in last Saturday’s Ligue 1 game between PSG and Lens at the Parc des Princes.

However, Samed’s afternoon was cut short when he received an early red card for a dangerous tackle on the Morocco international.

The midfielder tried to retrieve the ball but ended up stepping on the ankle of his opponent and was sent off after just 19 minutes.

Playing with a man down, Lens couldn’t cope with PSG’s intensity as they succumbed to a 3-1 defeat to the defending champions.

Lens have now released a statement saying Samed has been handed a three-game suspension by Ligue 1’s Disciplinary Committee.

“The verdict of the Disciplinary Committee is known. Excluded for the first time of the season in the 19th minute of #PSGRCL for an uncontrolled gesture – fortunately without consequence for the affected Parisian player – Salis Abdul Samed received a three-game suspension,” the club announced.

Meanwhile, Samed has apologized to Hakimi for his tackle and said he was disappointed to have gotten himself sent off.
