Coulibaly referred to LFP disciplinary panel over celebration

France's National Ethics Council has referred the case of Mamadou Coulibaly, midfielder at AS Monaco, to the disciplinary committee of the French Professional Football League (LFP) over his controversial celebration against Le Mans, in which he mimed a throat-slitting gesture. According to L'Équipe, the player now faces a possible suspension.

Coulibaly repeated the gesture of his teammate Paris Brunner, who was given a four-match ban in September for a similar act. As we reported earlier, the Monaco case could end the same way, and the decision now rests with the league's disciplinary body.
