Portugal forward Rafael Leao could face disciplinary scrutiny after being involved in an apparent punching incident during the ongoing international friendly against Chile at the Jamor Stadium in Lisbon.

The incident, involving Chile player, is likely to attract attention after the match, especially if it gets included in referee’s report or reviewed by officials. Any possible suspension will depend on the nature of the offence recorded and whether the incident is treated as violent conduct.

For now, there is no confirmed decision on whether Leao will face action. Portugal will have to wait for the official post-match report and any subsequent disciplinary review before knowing if the forward is at risk of missing upcoming fixtures.
