Ghana and Olympic Marseille midfielder, Andre Ayew, has been banned for three matches by the French Ligue 1 disciplinary committee.

The ban followed his dangerous tackle on Saint Etienne's Yohan Mollo in a league game last week.

Ayew was only booked for the lunge of Mollo who suffered a sprained ankle in the incident.

He later explained he had no intention to hurt the on loan Nancy player.

Television replay revealed the 23-year-old should have been sent off by referee Said Ennjimi just after the hour mark.

According to MTNfootball.com, the committee imposed the ban with a game suspended after listening to Ayew via video-conference.
