Two Major League Soccer clubs, Los Angeles FC and Columbus Crew, will be without the services of two influential players for the next few days or weeks.
Ghanaian international Yaw Yeboah has been placed on administrative leave by MLS due to alleged breaches of league regulations.
The Los Angeles FC winger and Columbus Crew midfielder Derrick Jones have been suspended from team activities and matchday involvement pending the outcome of an ongoing investigation.
In a statement, MLS confirmed the decision as a precautionary measure while reviewing potential violations.
