Faced with the heavy suspension of Ibrahim Sissoko after his bad gesture on Leonardo Balerdi, the leaders of AS Saint-Étienne could have changed priorities in the winter transfer window.
Ibrahim Sissoko will miss the entire month of January. For having made a bad gesture in front of Leonardo Balerdi in the Coupe de France (0-4), the ASSE striker was suspended for 5 matches. We have to go back more than 10 years to see a heavier sanction against a player from the Foréz club.
A gap between the FFF and LFP sanction scale
For comparison, Mathieu Cafaro was guilty of a similar gesture two years ago, by striking a blow to the face of an HAC player. The ASSE attacking midfielder then received a one-match suspension, which shows a glaring discrepancy between the scale of sanctions of the FFF and the LFP.
-A priority attacker?
According to Le Progrès, Sissoko's long suspension could change the situation in the middle of the winter transfer window and direct Kilmer Sports towards a recruit at the center forward position. At the moment, the regional daily also affirms that a right back does not seem to be the priority. A right central defender, a recovering midfielder and a winger are, however, well targeted.
