Ghanaian forward Yaw Yeboah has been placed on administrative leave by Major League Soccer (MLS) for alleged breaches of league regulations.
The Los Angeles FC winger and Columbus Crew midfielder Derrick Jones have both been suspended from training and matchday activities pending the outcome of an ongoing investigation.
In an official statement, MLS confirmed the disciplinary action:
“Major League Soccer has placed Los Angeles Football Club (LAFC) midfielder Yaw Yeboah and Columbus Crew midfielder Derrick Jones on administrative leave pending league review of potential violations of MLS league rules,” the statement read.
“Both players will be prohibited from participating in team activities and competition during the respective reviews.”
Yeboah joined Los Angeles FC in January 2025 on a two-year contract following his departure from Columbus Crew.
