The player is thus “suspended until further notice” by his club. If OGC Nice stressed that the player had recognized his error, “ the nature of the shared post and its seriousness” left no room for leniency.
As a reminder, on Saturday, Youcef Atal relayed on social networks the video of a preacher who called for a “black day for the Jews”, in the middle of the war between Israel and the terrorist organization Hamas
