Witsel insisted he had not meant to harm his opponent.
"We both went for the ball. I am not a violent player, I don't play football to break legs," he said.
The game finished in a 1-1 draw with Anderlecht staying top of the table.
Anderlecht also lost Czech international Jan Polak who suffered torn knee ligaments, an injury which Jacobs claimed was caused by a foul committed by striker Igor De Camargo.
