'We'll see if there's a fault' - Favre to look at Balotelli dismissal

The Italian striker was sent off against Bordeaux on Wednesday, and his manager has hinted that Ligue 1 leaders Nice may review the red card.

Nice head coach Lucien Favre has hinted the Ligue 1 leaders may appeal Mario Balotelli's red card against Bordeaux on Wednesday.

The striker, who has 10 goals in 14 matches across all competitions this season, was sent off for a kick on Igor Lewczuk in second-half stoppage time of the 0-0 draw, though replays suggested the defender's reaction was exaggerated.

Nice also lost Younes Belhanda to a red card as Francois Kamano's theatrical reaction to a kick on the back of the leg from the midfielder sparked a confrontation between the two sets of players in an ill-tempered conclusion.

On Balotelli's sending off, Favre said: "I look forward to seeing the pictures. We'll see if there's a fault.
