And the least we can say is that the Héraultais will not present themselves in the best conditions in Artois. This is because of LOSC.

One match for Gasset, two for Coulibaly
Both were sanctioned by the disciplinary committee on Wednesday. Jean-Louis Gasset, however, presented his apologies immediately after the match and reiterated them to the LFP body. She took this into account but still imposed a one-match suspension on him. Gasset will therefore be in the Bollaert stands on Sunday and will let his assistant, Ghislain Printant, manage his team from the edge of the field.
