The Brazilian was one of the five players that were sent of in Sunday game that saw the Paris club lose 1-0 in the matchday two fixture, having also lost their opener.
Following a brawl towards the end of the game at the Parc des Prince, A VAR review showed Neymar punched the back of Marseille defender Alvaro Gonzalez.

The Ligue de Football Professionnel (LFP), the governing body of professional French football, has confirmed it will investigate Neymar’s accusation.
Meanwhile, the other four players sent off have also received bans – with PSG defender Layvin Kurzawa suspended for six matches.
His team-mate Leandro Paredes has been banned for two games – while for Marseille, Jordan Amavi has received a three-match suspension and Dario Benedetto must sit out one game.
