Eric Bailly was slapped with a hefty seven-game ban after he kung-fu kicked an opponent in the chest last month.
The Manchester United defender is currently on loan at French club Marseille and has just been hit with a major ban.
Marseille was playing fourth-division side Hyeres and quite easily beat them 2-0 last month. But they had to do it with 10 men after the Ivorian centre-back was sent off for a horrific challenge.

But Bailly has now been slapped with a whopping seven-game ban, keeping him out until March.
This is a huge blow for Marseille who are only five points off PSG in third.
