Monaco midfielder Mamadou Coulibaly is facing a potential suspension from the French Professional Football League (LFP) after he repeated a throat-slitting celebration originally performed by teammate Paris Brunner during a 1-1 draw against Le Mans on November 9, 2026.

The incident occurred in a Ligue 1 match where Coulibaly mimicked Brunner's gesture, which has been widely condemned as provocative and violent. The LFP is reviewing the matter and could impose a ban on the player.
