Standard Liege midfielder Axel Witsel has been handed an 11-match ban and will not play for his club again until November 23, following a horror tackle on Marcin Wasilewski, who suffered a double fracture of his right leg.

Witsel will miss 10 league matches and a round of the Belgian Cup. He could also miss four Champions League matches if UEFA extend the ban to their jurisdiction.

The 20-year-old midfielder has also been fined 2,500 euros by the Belgian FA. In addition, Witsel has also received death threats which the police are investigating following the draw with Anderlecht on Sunday night.

The Belgian international received a straight red card for a tackle that has received headlines all around the world. Video of the incident can be seen here.
