On the play in question, the Nantes forward fouled Luck Zogbé, who had driven the ball into the penalty area toward goalkeeper Anthony Lopes. In his supplementary report, issued on Monday, the match referee, who reviewed the footage, ultimately explained that “it is not 100% certain that Mr. Zogbé had clear control of the ball following his first touch.” Mr. Paradis therefore acknowledges that his initial decision was correct and recommends that the League overturn the red card.

The committee is meeting this Tuesday at 2 p.m., and if the suspension is reduced to a simple warning, Tabibou could be called up to play this Wednesday against Paris Saint-Germain at the Parc des Princes in a rescheduled match from the 26th round of Ligue 1.
