Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Marco Verratti, exasperated by the arbitration of Nantes-PSG (3-1), Saturday February 19, will appear before the Disciplinary Committee of the League next month. The commission, meeting in the evening on other issues, set the study of the case of the Italian at its next meeting, scheduled for March 2 from 6:00 p.m.

Verratti will have to answer for his words spoken against the referees, after the National Council of Ethics of the French Football Federation (FFF) seized the disciplinary committee in recent days. After the Parisian defeat in Ligue 1 in Nantes (3-1), the Italian was very upset at the microphone of Canal+.

“It’s not possible that we take 10 yellow cards. We can’t talk to the referee, we can’t do anything. He’s the only referee in the world who can do something like that (… ) Sometimes the referees have to take responsibility, because there we got over it with the referees”

According to the FFF’s disciplinary scale, Verratti faces a two-game suspension if his remarks are deemed excessive or inappropriate, three games if they are deemed hurtful or likely to offend a person, and five games if they are deemed rude or offensive. .

Other bad news for the capital club: the disciplinary committee confirmed on Wednesday that Kylian Mbappé will miss the trip to Nice in Ligue 1 on March 5. The French international received, on Saturday, in Nantes, a third yellow card in ten league games, synonymous with a suspension match.
