Last Tuesday against Southampton (2-1) in the FA Cup, the French striker Hugo Ekitike received a second yellow card after taking off his shirt while celebrating the winning goal. During a press conference, the former PSG player offered another mea culpa to the media.

"It wasn't smart. I'd say I punished myself, so I was pretty disappointed to have to watch the lads from home last Saturday (the 1-2 defeat against Crystal Palace in the Premier League, editor's note). But like I said, I apologize to all my teammates. This kind of thing won't happen again," admitted the Frenchman.

Ekitike could return to the starting eleven this Tuesday (9pm) against Galatasaray in the Champions League.
