Real Salt Lake star Chicho Arango has been suspended for three matches and the upcoming All-Star game for violating Major League Soccer’s anti-harassment policy, RSL announced Monday.

The team “has fully cooperated with Major League Soccer’s investigation and accepts the disciplinary decision,” RSL said in a statement.

No additional details on the violation were immediately released.

Arango is set to miss Real Salt Lake’s game Wednesday at LAFC, Saturday at Colorado, the MLS All-Star Game on July 24 and the team’s first Leagues Cup game against Atlas on Aug. 1.

Arango recently tied the RSL single-season scoring record with his 17th goal. He leads all scorers in MLS.
