Arsenal defender William Saliba handed one-month suspended ban by the French FA over Snapchat video of a naked team-mate masturbating with 20-year-old cleared to continue playing for loan club Nice

Arsenal defender William Saliba has been handed a one-month suspended ban by the French Football Federation over a leaked Snapchat video featuring a naked team-mate masturbating.

The 20-year-old, currently on loan at Ligue 1 side Nice, had been subject to an investigation by a disciplinary committee.

The clip, believed to be three years old, resurfaced in February and shows the youngster smiling before panning the camera round to show a fellow player lying undressed next to him and watching a video.
