Eric Bai

In the match of the 1/32 finals of the Cup of France against "Her" (2:0), the 28-year-old footballer received a straight red card for a terrible violation of the rules. In the 15th minute of the meeting, Bai hit at high speed with a straight leg into the chest of opponent midfielder Almike Moussa N'Diaye. As a result of the episode, the player was taken to intensive care with fractured ribs.

Bai has already missed two meetings of the "Provençals", and the Frenchman will not help the team in the next match in the 1/8 finals of the French Cup against Rennes.
