Brazilian defender, Marcelo has been suspended from Lyon’s senior team due to inappropriate behaviour.
The club announced the player’s suspension on Tuesday. The 34-year-old will now be playing with the reserve team.
The Ligue 1 club, in a statement, said that Marcelo’s behaviour in the dressing room was “inappropriate” following Sunday’s 3-0 loss to Angers, in which he scored an own goal, and the decision to suspend him was taken unanimously by the club’s management team.
