Exasperated by the arbitration of Nantes-PSG (3-1) on Saturday in Ligue 1, Marco Verratti will appear before the Disciplinary Committee of the League on Wednesday March 2.
The commission, meeting Wednesday February 23 in the evening on other files, fixed the study of the case of the Italian at its next meeting, scheduled for March 2 from 6 p.m.
The PSG midfielder 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 on Saturday (3-1), the Italian was very upset at the microphone of Canal +.
“It is not possible that we take 10 yellow cards (6 in reality).
We can't talk to the referee (M. Lesage), we can't do anything.
He is 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, ”launched the PSG player.
Mbappé will miss the trip to Nice on March 5
According to the FFF's disciplinary scale, Verratti risks two games of suspension if his comments are deemed "excessive" or "inappropriate", three games if they are deemed "hurtful" or "likely to offend a person", and five games if they are considered "rude" or "offensive".
Other bad news (but expected this one) for PSG: the disciplinary committee confirmed on Wednesday that Kylian Mbappé will miss the trip to Nice in Ligue 1 on March 5.
The Parisian striker received Saturday in Nantes a third yellow card in ten league games, synonymous with a suspension match.
