The LFP handed Neymar a three-match suspension but said one game would be suspended, meaning the Brazilian will miss Saturday's trip to Strasbourg and St Etienne's visit the following weekend.
The LFP added that Djalo would be banned for two games, with one match to be suspended.
Neymar, who was making his first Ligue 1 start in over two months, has been sent off three times in his last 15 Ligue 1 appearances stretching back to the end of last season. (Reporting by Rohith Nair in Bengaluru; Editing by Toby Davis)
