A FRENCH prodigy was hooked for his own brother just minutes after being substituted on himself.
Rennes midfielder Désiré Doué found himself on the end of his manager’s wrath in the French side’s 3-1 loss to Lyon.
Doué, 17, had been brought on to replace Lovro Majer in the 69th minute.
But 18 minutes later he then found himself being substituted off for brother Guéla Doué.
Rennes boss Bruno Genesio launched a scathing attack after the game.
He told Amazon Prime Video Sport: “There are some things that need to be assimilated quickly.

“When you say it once, it’s normal. Twice, it’s one time too many.
“When it’s more, you need to make use of other methods.”
Genesio then suggested he would be having a private word with the France U19 international.
He added: “It does not mean I don’t have great trust in him and that he’ll fail to make a great career.

“But some things need to be understood faster.”
Doué has scored four goals in all competitions this season, including three in Ligue 1.
The result left Rennes sixth in the table, also seeing them squander a chance to leapfrog Lille into fifth.
