Randal Kolo Muani, Ousmane Dembele, Achraf Hakimi and Lavyine Kurzawa face a one-match suspension
Paris Saint-Germain players Randal Kolo Muani, Ousmane Dembele, Achraf Hakimi and Layvin Kurzawa have been handed suspended one-match suspensions for their role in offensive chants, the Ligue de Football Professionnel (LFP) announced.
During a September Ligue 1 match against Olympique de Marseille at the Parc des Princes, PSG fans were heard celebrating with homophobic chants directed at the opponents.
French sports daily L'Equipe reported PSG players were involved in offensive chanting.
The LFP handed the players one-match suspensions effective from October 10 and decided to close the Auteuil stand at the Parc des Princes for two matches.
"The club regrets that the Disciplinary Commission has opted for an excessive and collective measure, likely to undermine the work of dialogue and prevention undertaken by the Club with associations, institutions and fans," PSG said in a statement, adding that they will not appeal.
