REFEREE Tony Chapron apologised today for kicking out at Nantes defender Diego Carlos and advised that the player’s sending-off should be overturned.
Late in Nantes’s 1-0 loss to Paris St Germain yesterday, Chapron was accidentally tripped by Carlos. From the floor, he kicked out at the Nantes defender’s legs then showed him a second yellow card.
French football league LFP has stood Chapron from duty “until further notice” and he will face a disciplinary hearing.
