Sent off against Stade Brestois 29, Dehmaine Tabibou may avoid suspension after a surprising referee review. A crucial boost ahead of the clash with Stade Rennais FC.
In a tense Ligue 1 encounter, FC Nantes thought they had lost a key player after Dehmaine Tabibou was shown a red card following a VAR review against Stade Brestois 29. Reduced to ten men, Nantes conceded a late equalizer, leaving fans frustrated and concerned about the player’s suspension.
However, referee Guillaume Paradis has since reconsidered his decision. In an official report, he admitted uncertainty over whether Brest’s Luck Zogbé had full control of the ball, suggesting that the initial yellow card might have been the correct call.
If the red card is overturned, Tabibou could feature against Stade Rennais FC this Sunday. This potential decision could provide a major boost for Nantes as they fight to secure their place in Ligue 1, while also increasing local engagement and visibility around the club.
