PARIS (AP) - Lyon goalkeeper Anthony Lopes has had a suspension increased from three matches to five by the appeal commission of the French Football Federation for violent conduct.
Lopes and Marseille defender Adil Rami each received three-match bans in a previous ruling. Rami's suspension remains unchanged, the federation says in a statement on Monday.
In March, players from both teams clashed at the Stade Velodrome in Marseille after Memphis Depay scored in the last minute to give Lyon a 3-2 win in the French league.
Lyon defenders Marcelo and Mouctar Diakhaby received two-match bans, with one game suspended. Both clubs were fined 10,000 euros ($11,900).
