Guendouzi and Greenwood banned after brawl

Matteo Guendouzi, the Turkish club Fenerbahce's midfielder, has been banned for four European matches and fined 50,000 euros (£43,000) for his involvement in a brawl that followed a Champions League play-off victory against Lyon. Guendouzi's ban includes two games that have been suspended, and he faces a one-year probation period before the suspension takes effect.

The striker, who previously played for Lyon's rival Marseille, was fined 30,000 euros (£26,000) and given a one-match suspended ban for his part in the incident. Lyon's goalkeeper coach, Antonio Ferreira, has been banned for five matches, with two matches suspended, for his alleged involvement in serious assault during the altercation that occurred after Fenerbahce's win, securing their passage to the league stage with a 3-2 aggregate victory.

Both Fenerbahce and Lyon were also fined 50,000 euros (£43,000) for the conduct of their teams during the post-match events.
