Neymar slams CONMEBOL after Jesus banned for Copa America final

The Manchester City star was sent off in his side's quarter-final win over Chile after a dangerous flying kick to Eugenio Mena

Neymar has hit out at CONMEBOL after the confederation suspended his Brazil team-mate Gabriel Jesus for Saturday's Copa America final against Argentina.

Jesus was shown a red card in the quarter-final against Chile for a flying kick to Eugenio Mena's face. The forward apologised after the game and said the kick was accidental.

After Jesus missed Brazil's semi-final win over Peru, CONMEBOL announced on Tuesday that Jesus would be suspended an additional game and would be unable to appeal.
