Overview
- Disciplinary chief Frédéric Thiriez said there is a suspicion of a racist gesture and indicated the CNE can refer the case to the LFP commission, which is expected to hear from Dønnum.
- The incident occurred in stoppage time of Toulouse–Le Havre (0–0) as Dønnum waved his hand in front of his nose at Ebonog, with no in-game sanction for the Norwegian and a yellow card shown to coach Didier Digard after protests.
- Le Havre issued a forceful statement calling for punishment, and sporting director Mathieu Bodmer said match delegates were asked to include the episode in their report while questioning the absence of VAR intervention.
- Toulouse denounced the accusations as unfounded, and Dønnum said the gesture referenced unpleasant breath rather than race, with several teammates posting messages of support on social media.
- If a discriminatory or injurious act is established, FFF regulations cited in coverage indicate Dønnum could face a suspension of up to 10 matches.
