UEFA disciplined both players on Friday for incidents that occurred following Fenerbahce's second-leg playoff victory over Olympique Lyonnais in the competition's qualifying round.
The suspensions mark the latest in a series of disciplinary measures taken by European football's governing body this season as it seeks to maintain standards of conduct both on and off the pitch.
Guendouzi and Greenwood's punishments come as Fenerbahce continues its European campaign following the Turkish club's progression past Lyon in the playoff stage. The incidents underscore ongoing efforts by UEFA to enforce behavioral standards among players during high-stakes continental fixtures.
Both players are now subject to their respective suspension terms as determined by UEFA's disciplinary process. The governing body did not disclose specific details of the incidents that led to the sanctions.
