Brazil's Gabriel Jesus Banned from International Football for 2 Months

Brazil's Gabriel Jesus has been banned from international football for two months by CONMEBOL after his furious reaction to being sent off in the 2019 Copa America final in July.

Per Dejan Kalinic of Goal, the South American governing body issued a statement that said the forward "is suspended to play official and friendly matches with his national team in that period of time." He has also been fined $30,000 (£24,648).

He has seven days to appeal, but assuming the ban remains, Jesus will miss Brazil's friendlies against Colombia and Peru in September.
