Expelled this Saturday during the 32nd final of the Coupe de France against Hyères for a big fault on Almike Moussa N’Diaye, hospitalized in intensive care, Eric Bailly risks between four to six games of suspension.
Eric Bailly’s match came to an end this Saturday in Martigues. Holder against Hyères (N2) in the 32nd final of the Coupe de France (2-0), the defender received a direct red card after only 15 minutes of play. While the score was still 0-0, the player 28 years old was logically excluded after an uncontrolled and extremely dangerous gesture on Almike Moussa N’Diaye. Eager to recover the ball, the Marseillais indeed wiped his crampons on the chest of the Hyérois midfielder.
After his expulsion, his case will quickly be studied by the federal disciplinary commission. According to our information, he risks between four (aggravated gross fault) and six firm matches, if the Varois has ITT. He is already suspended for the trip to Troyes on Wednesday (9 p.m.).
