Tunisian referee Slim Jdidi has been suspended in the wake of his contentious handling of Wednesday's African Nations Cup semi-final in Nelspruit.

Following the game, Burkina Faso boss Put told the BBC: "The refereeing decisions were scandalous. "We've lost Jonathan Pitroipa now for the final. He's very important to us, but we are 23 players and it's up to the technical staff to devise tactics to beat Nigeria without him and (the injured) Alain Traore." Burkina Faso captain Charles Kabore also questioned the refereeing display. "The referee is human, all humans make mistakes, but he happened to make too many tonight," he told the BBC. "But we're not going to dwell on that. We've qualified."
