FC Nantes is determined to defend itself in the Touré affair, where they risk losing three points for fielding Abdoulaye Touré, considered a suspended player. Touré received three yellow cards in CFA2 and U19 last season, triggering an automatic one-match suspension. However, Nantes argues that the suspension is void, citing the jurisprudence of the Council of State, as Touré was never warned by registered letter and never had the opportunity to defend himself. The club, currently 4th in the Ligue 1 standings, is building a strong case and is optimistic about the outcome of the dispute.
