AS Monaco player Mamadou Coulibaly is likely to face disciplinary punishment for a throat-slitting gesture made during a goal celebration, the Associated Press reported on Sunday.
The celebration incident has drawn the attention of football authorities, who typically sanction such gestures as unsporting or threatening behavior. Specific details about the match in which the celebration occurred were not provided in the initial report.
Coulibaly, a member of the Ligue 1 side, could be subject to sanctions from the French football federation or the league's disciplinary bodies. The club has not yet commented publicly on the matter.
