REMY CABELLA hit out after needing seven stitches in a nasty injury and seeing the guilty party get away with it.

The Marseille midfielder picked up the knock after a poor challenge from Djibril Sidibe as his side were downed 4-1 by Monaco.

And after the game he took to Snapchat to post a picture of the damage, moaning: "7 stitches and not even fault."

League 1 leaders Monaco came through a tricky test in Marseille to keep their advantage over Nice.

Goals from Thomas Lemar, Radamel Falcao and a brace from Bernando Silva sparked celebrations in the away dressing room.

Defeat left OM - who will likely be without Cabella for a few matches - in sixth place in the division.

But they could be handed a boost as they line-up a move for wantaway West Ham star Dimitri Payet.

The club's fans caused a stir by warning another former star, Didier Drogba, he is not welcome back at the club.

They unfurled a banner telling the ex-Chelsea striker to go back to China.

Drogba, 38, spent one season at Marseille before joining Chelsea and has hinted that he would like to return.

Rudi Garcia dismissed any chance of Drogba returning to Marseille earlier this week by saying: ”I think sometimes you have to just leave the great experiences as they are.”

Drogba, a free agent, has ended his stay with MLS club Montreal and is on the lookout for a new team but the Marseille fans certainly do not want the Ivorian back.

Their banner read: “Drogba – stop saying you love Marseille. You earn more in a month than we do in our lives. Go back to China.”
