Abdukodir Khusanov suspended against Nantes, at least

Excluded in the 57th minute during the trip to the Parc des Princes, Abdukodir Khusanov will miss the Nantes reception.

Before half-time, the Uzbek defender was warned by Willy Delajod for a poorly controlled tackle. Returning from the locker room, Bradley Barcola is thrown deep, but Abdukodir Khusanov catches him with an authoritarian tackle, The attacker remains on the ground. At real speed, the referee lets it play. Only, a few seconds later, the man in black is called by the VAR.

First red with Lens

In slow motion, the tackle seems less legal than expected since the Sang et Or touches the Parisian's shin before taking the ball. The referee returns to the field and decides to give Abdukodir Khusanov a red card. So, the defender will be suspended for the reception of Nantes during the 11th day of the championship. “I haven't seen the red phase again. Apparently, the fault of the Parisian just after, he can also have red. I'm not going to blame the refereeing, there are other things to sort out and think about. I have already said what I thought of French arbitration”, Will Still commented.

This is Khusanov's first exclusion with RC Lens. Warned for the third time in 10 matches, Will Still and Jonathan Gradit will be suspended against OM.
