Caf has “immediately and provisionally” suspended Raja Casablanca defender Ilias Haddad following a Caf Champions League confrontation between the visitors and TP Mazembe supporters on Saturday.
The incident is said to have occurred before kickoff before hosts Mazembe went on to win 1-0 but bowed out by a 2-1 aggregate.
Raja proceeded to the semi-finals but that was not before the pre-match skirmishes.
While details of the incident are yet to be released, Caf has already identified Haddad, through video footage, as a transgressor.
"Prior to the start of the match, there was a confrontation between some players of Raja and supporters of TP Mazembe close to the tunnel,” said Caf in a statement.

“To suspend player #15 Iliass Haddad immediately and provisionally until he appears before the Disciplinary Board at the next meeting for an official hearing.”
