Harry Maguire will miss Manchester United’s upcoming match against Chelsea this Saturday due to a upheld charge of improper conduct from the Football Association.
Maguire was already suspended during Monday’s 2-1 loss to Leeds United after receiving a red card in the match against Bournemouth on March 20.
– VAR review: Why Man United’s Martínez was always going to receive a red card
Following the incident, he was charged by the FA for his actions while leaving the pitch at the Vitality Stadium.
The 33-year-old accepted the charge, resulting in an additional one-game suspension and a £30,000 fine.
This means that United will be without both Maguire and Lisandro Martínez when facing Chelsea, as Martínez was also red-carded against Leeds.
Martínez was dismissed for allegedly pulling the hair of Leeds striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin, a decision described as “shocking” by United head coach Michael Carrick.
Sources indicate that United have appealed Martínez’s suspension, but there is little hope within the club that the appeal will be successful.
