Berliner Tageblatt - Greenwood, Guendouzi handed bans after Fenerbahce-Lyon brawl

Last month's 2-1 victory for Fenerbahce in France meant the Turks progressed 3-2 on aggregate and after the final whistle Greenwood and Guendouzi, who both previously played for Lyon's bitter rivals Marseille, were involved in a brawl with players and coaching staff from both sides.

Former Arsenal midfielder Guendouzi has been suspended "for a total of four UEFA club competition matches for which he would otherwise be eligible, for insulting others present at the match, provoking spectators and for violating the basic rules of decent conduct", UEFA announced in a decision made public on Friday evening.

Two of the matches are subject to a "one-year probationary period", European football's governing body added in the statement.

Guendouzi, who was also fined 50,000 euros ($58,000), was found guilty, among other things, of giving the middle finger to Lyon supporters and of provocations that led to a scuffle after the match.

His English team-mate Mason Greenwood, formerly of Manchester United, received a one-match suspended ban and was fined 30,000 euros for "violating the basic rules of decent conduct".
