The Belgian Federal Public Prosecution Service is requesting a two-match suspension, for Gift Orban following his red card against KAS Eupen on Sunday.
Orban was shown a straight red card for pushing and punching an opponent in the league match.
The Federal Public Prosecutor’s Office ruled that the Gent Forward’s action involved “physical misconduct”, and more specifically “a brutal push with high intensity”.
The body have now requested for at least a two-match suspension with a fine of €1,500.
Gent could appeal the decision as it was Orban’s first red card in 57 professional matches; a game’s suspension and fine less than €1500.
It is believed that a final decision will be made a Tuesday.
