The RFU CDC regularly reviews disciplinary violations recorded in the protocols of matches of the Russian Football Championship.
At a meeting on September 16, the Control and Disciplinary Committee (CDC) will consider the removal of CSKA football player Mateus Reis for a serious violation of the rules and his push in the back of chief referee Inal Tanashev after showing a red card, according to the website of the Russian Football Union (RFU).
On Saturday, CSKA played a draw at home with Rubin Kazan (1:1) in the match of the eighth round of the national championship.
