Marseille midfielder Abou Diaby hits back at 'cowardly' Julien Cazarre after French comedian mocks disabled fan

Former Arsenal midfielder Abou Diaby has condemned a comedian for his insensitive comments at the expense of a disabled Marseille supporter made on French television on Sunday.

Julien Cazarre was speaking 'J+1' - a French programme on on Canal + designed to give a light taken on all the latest Ligue 1 action - but the 42-year-old made an inappropriate joke regarding a special guest at a recent Marseille match.

The French club invited a young boy with leukodystrophy - a rare disease that affects the brain - to take part in the warm-up alongside a minder ahead of the league clash against Guingamp last Wednesday.
