Will miss season finale
Bard is set to be suspended after accumulating five yellow cards in French competitions, the league announced.
ANALYSIS
Bard picked up his fifth yellow card in French competitions and is now suspended for the season finale against Metz on May 17. The Aiglons' left-back has been an undisputed starter in the back line and his absence guarantees a shake-up in the starting XI, with Ali El Abdi expected to start in his spot against the Grenats. Bard ends what has been a strong individual campaign with two goals, one assist, 20 chances created, 63 tackles and a career-high 91 clearances across 35 appearances in all competitions.
