Layvin Kurzawa has been suspended for six matches, while Neymar Jr and Leandro Paredes both received two-match bans, with the Brazilian receiving an extra one-game suspended sentence.

For Marseille, Jordan Amavi has been suspended for three games while Dario Benedetto will miss the next match. 

The goal will be to establish "what was actually and what was actually heard", Deneux added, while insisting the commission would only rule on "objective, tangible elements."

PSG defender Layvin Kurzawa incurred a six-match ban for kicking out at Marseille left-back Jordan Amavi, who was hit with a suspension of three games after he too was dismissed.

Leandro Paredes was banned for two games after he was sent off for a clash with fellow Argentine Dario Benedetto, who was also red-carded and will be suspended for Marseille's game with Saint-Etienne on Thursday.
