AS Monaco midfielder Mamadou Coulibaly is likely to face disciplinary action after making a throat-slitting gesture during a goal celebration, according to an Associated Press report. The incident has drawn attention from football authorities who are reviewing the matter for potential sanctions.

The celebration, which occurred during a recent match, has been widely condemned as inappropriate and potentially threatening. Football governing bodies typically treat such gestures seriously, often resulting in fines or match suspensions for players involved.

Monaco has not yet issued an official statement regarding the incident or any potential club-level discipline. The French Ligue 1 side will await the decision from the relevant disciplinary committee before determining next steps.
