PSG Midfielder Joao Neves Handed Two-Match Ban, to Miss European Super Cup Final
Paris Saint-Germain have been dealt a major setback ahead of the European Super Cup final, as star midfielder Joao Neves will be unavailable due to suspension. The Portuguese youngster received a two-match ban following an incident during the Club World Cup, where he was shown a red card for pulling Chelsea defender Marc Cucurella’s hair.
The disciplinary ruling means Neves will miss two key fixtures — the European Super Cup final against Tottenham Hotspur on Wednesday, 14 August, and PSG’s Ligue 1 opener against Nantes.
Manager Luis Enrique now faces a tactical reshuffle in midfield, with Warren Zaïre-Emery, Vitinha, and Fabián Ruiz expected to play central roles in Neves’ absence.
The suspension comes at a crucial time for PSG, as they aim to start the new season strongly and add another European trophy to their collection. Fans will be watching closely to see how the Parisian side adapt without one of their most dynamic midfielders.
