Tony Chapron aimed a kick at Diego Carlos of Nantes towards the end Sunday's game against Paris Saint-Germain after being knocked over when the pair collided. He then showed the player a second yellow card.


The FFF said Chapron had been "withdrawn ... until further notice" and would be called to appear before the French league's disciplinary commission.
