Strasbourg defender Ismael Doukoure has been handed a four-match suspension for his red card after a challenge that left Lyon's Malick Fofana with a serious ankle injury. The incident, which occurred during Lyon's 2-1 Ligue 1 victory over Strasbourg on Monday, has left Fofana ruled out for several months and drawn a heavy suspension from the LFP, Ligue 1's governing body.

Liam Rosenior has publicly apologised for his comments on Lyon winger Malick Fofana's injury after initially defending Ismael Doukoure following his red card in Strasbourg’s defeat to Lyon. The Strasbourg coach admitted he “reacted in the heat of the moment” after reviewing footage of the heavy tackle that left Fofana stretchered off with a serious ankle injury that could rule him out for months.
