Samuel Umtiti faced consequences for his actions in last Sunday’s match against Rennes during the 23rd day of the league. His reckless tackle on Romain Alessandrini led to his exclusion from the game. However, the Lyon central defender received a relatively lenient punishment from the League’s disciplinary committee.
Umtiti was handed a two-match suspension, with one of those matches being suspended. Additionally, following his expulsion from the match, the Cameroonian player expressed his frustration by damaging two locker room doors, displaying his discontent with the referee’s decision.
