Heavy punishment for 'reckless' tackle on Greek international

Charleroi player Kevin Van Den Kerkhof is expected to face a heavy punishment for a dangerous tackle on Greek international footballer Christos Tzolis during the Club Brugge - Charleroi match. The Belgian football federation's prosecutor proposed a five-match ban, with one suspended, and a fine of 4,500 euros. The tackle was described as particularly harsh and dangerous to Tzolis' physical integrity.
