**Cheikh Ndoye Receives Two-Match Ban After Red Card**
Angers midfielder Cheikh Ndoye has been handed a two-match suspension following his red card against Troyes last Saturday. Despite the severity of his foul play, the Senegalese international escaped a harsher punishment after convincing the Ligue de Football Professionnel (LFP) disciplinary committee that his actions were neither malicious nor intentional.
Ndoye’s dismissal saw him miss Angers’ recent Ligue 1 fixture against Reims in the seventh round. He will also be unavailable for the upcoming match against Marseille this Sunday, as Angers prepares for their eighth round encounter.
The two-match ban serves as a reminder of the fine line players walk between aggressive play and disciplinary breaches in the French top flight. Ndoye, known for his combative style in midfield, now faces a period on the sidelines that could impact Angers’ campaign.
