Olympique Lyonnais midfielder Nemanja Matic and Le Havre striker Ahmed Hassan have each been handed two-game bans with a further two matches suspended after they concealed Ligue 1’s anti-homophobia insignia on their shirts, the French top-flight said.

Serbian Matic, 36, had put on a tape over the anti-homophobia badge when he came on as a substitute during Lyon’s 2-0 home win over Angers on May 17, which was the final day of the Ligue 1 season. His Lyon contract is set to expire at the end of the month.

Egyptian Hassan, 32, also received the same punishment, with the incident having occurred during Le Havre’s 3-2 win at Strasbourg.
