Serge Gakpé and his Nantes team face the loss of three points from the first day of the Ligue 1 season after defeating Bastia (2-0). The issue arises from the late introduction of Abdoulaye Touré in the match, who was under suspension on June 20. Touré played in the national championship for FC Nantes. The LFP (French Professional Football League) will need to make a judgment on the matter, and FC Nantes’ lawyer, Maître Jean-François Klatovsky, mentioned that “the case will be referred to the Nantes Administrative Court.” A hearing is expected to take place within 30 days.
