The referee who kicked a player during a French Ligue 1 game and then sent him off has been suspended "until further notice," the French Football Federation (FFF) said on Monday.
Tony Chapron kicked Diego Carlos of Nantes towards the end of Sunday's game against Paris Saint-Germain after being knocked over when the pair collided in a bizarre incident.
Chapron then showed the player a second yellow card.
The FFF's technical committee of referees said Chapron had been "withdrawn (...) until further notice" and would be called to appear before the French league's disciplinary commission.
The sanction means he has been removed from refereeing duties for Wednesday's Ligue 1 game between Angers and Troyes.
The FFF statement added that 45-year-old Chapron - who recently took charge of a game in China - had reviewed video footage of the incident and "noted that his fall had been caused accidentally."
Footage of the incident quickly went viral across the world.
