Johan Bakayoko could face PSV again on Tuesday in the Champions League. The RB Leipzig forward, who came through the ranks in Eindhoven, was suspended for disciplinary reasons this weekend, but his coach Martín Demichelis has confirmed that the incident has been resolved, according to Voetbal International and Voetbalprimeur.

According to Voetbalprimeur, Demichelis described the mistake as "not smart." Bakayoko, aged 23, trained normally and could be on the bench at kick-off, according to Voetbalnieuws. He would thus make his return after an injury and this suspension, Voetbalprimeur adds.

De Telegraaf questions Bakayoko's disappointing start at Leipzig, while NU.nl mentions a "small mistake" on his part.
