Paris Saint-Germain's Kylian Mbappe has been suspended for three matches after being sent off during a French league game last weekend.
The 19-year-old striker, a member of the France squad which won the World Cup in July, received a red card in stoppage time during PSG's 4-2 win over Nimes.
Mbappe scored in the victory but was later sent off for reacting to a late challenge from Teji Savanier, shoving the Nimes midfielder to the ground.
Savanier was handed a five-match ban by the French league's disciplinary commission on Wednesday.
Mbappe is in Germany for France's UEFA Nations League game in Munich on Thursday, 6 September, and did not attend the hearing.
He misses the league matches against Saint-Etienne on 14 September, four days before PSG starts its Champions League campaign at Liverpool, against Rennes on 23 September and Reims on 26 September.
