Marseille’s Bayi receives a seven-match ban for hitting an opponent in the chest with his boots
Marseille defender Eric Bailly has been suspended for seven games, according to journalist Fabrice Lamperti on Twitter.
The French Football Federation (FFF) determined such a measure to a football player for a gross foul during the game of the 1/32 finals of the French Cup with Hyères. Bayi kicked the opposing player in the chest and received a direct red, and the victim was taken to intensive care.
The meeting took place on January 7 at the Jera field and ended with the victory of the guests with a score of 2:0. Bayi himself was initially suspended for two games, which he had already missed.
Marseille are third in Ligue 1 with 42 points from 19 matches.
