The Ligue de Football Professionnel (LFP) has banned fans of Ligue 1 club St Etienne from travelling to away games until the end of the year following an afternoon of violent clashes in Nice.

Ligue de Football Professionnel (LFP) president Frederic Thiriez has threatened to impose “systematic bans” on supporters after violence marred Sunday’s Ligue 1 clash between Nice and St Etienne at the Allianz Riviera stadium.

ST ETIENNE midfielder Blaise Matuidi says he could join Arsenal at the end of the season.
