Jesus gets two-month Brazil ban for Copa antics
Brazil’s Gabriel Jesus has received a two-month international ban for his behaviour after he was sent off during the Copa America final last month.
The Manchester City forward, who scored in the 3-1 win over Peru, remonstrated with referee Roberto Tobar, kicked a water bottle and then pushed the VAR monitor as he left the pitch.
Jesus, also fined $30,000 (£24,691), has seven days to appeal.
