Monaco midfielder Mamadou Coulibaly is facing a potential suspension from the French Professional Football League (LFP) after mimicking a throat-slitting celebration during his team's 1-1 draw against Le Mans on Sunday.

The incident occurred when Coulibaly repeated a gesture previously made by his teammate Paris Brunner, which has drawn the attention of disciplinary authorities. The LFP is expected to review the matter and could impose sanctions on the player.

The match, part of the Ligue 1 schedule, ended in a stalemate, but the post-goal celebration has overshadowed the result. Both players may face scrutiny as the league investigates the unsporting behavior.
