Referee suspended until further notice after kicking Nantes' Carlos
The referee who kicked out at and then sent off Nantes' Diego Carlos has been taken off his next game and will face a disciplinary hearing.
The referee who kicked a player during a French Ligue 1 game and then sent him off has been suspended "until further notice", the French Football Federation (FFF) said on Monday.
Tony Chapron aimed a kick at Diego Carlos of Nantes towards the end Sunday's game against Paris Saint-Germain after being knocked over when the pair collided. He then showed the player a second yellow card.
The FFF said Chapron had been "withdrawn... until further notice" and would be called to appear before the French league's disciplinary commission.
