Lyon boss suggests injured player be replaced amid crowd violence

The Hindu  

Olympique Lyonnais president Jean-Michel Aulas suggested a player could be replaced by an extra substitute so that matches are not abandoned amid a debate on crowd violence in Ligue 1 stadiums. The French League is set to rule on the Lyon vs Olympique de Marseille game that was abandoned two weeks ago after Marseille's Dimitri Payet was hit by a bottle thrown from the stands with Aulas criticising the referee's decision to call off the match. "To avoid wrongly abandoning a game, we could allow clubs to replace a potentially injured player: give the possibility to stay with 11 men as in the case of a concussion. "Maybe even that could encourage the injured player to resume?," Aulas wrote on Twitter, replying to a tweet on the topic, copying in the French federation and the LFP.
