Brandao handed six-month ban for headbutt

The verdict was handed down by the LFP at a league disciplinary hearing on Thursday after Brandao left Motta with a broken nose after Bastia's Ligue 1 clash with PSG on August 16.

Brandao - in his debut season for Bastia - was provisionally suspended following the incident last month but has now been banned until February 22.

Brandao's actions were condemned by PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi, who called for the striker to be banned for life.
