Harry Maguire to Miss Chelsea Match After FA Charge Upheld
Harry Maguire will not participate in Manchester United's upcoming match against Chelsea due to an upheld charge of improper conduct. He has received a one-game ban and a fine.
espn.co.ukHarry Maguire is set to miss Manchester United's trip to Chelsea on Saturday after his charge of improper conduct was upheld. The charge relates to his behavior as he left the pitch during a previous match. Maguire was suspended for a recent match against Leeds United after being sent off against Bournemouth on March 20.
Following this incident, he admitted to the charge and has been handed a one-game ban along with a £30,000 fine. In addition to Maguire's absence, Manchester United will also be without Lisandro Martínez, who received a red card in the match against Leeds. Martínez was dismissed for an incident involving the hair pull of a Leeds striker, a decision that was criticized by the team's head coach.
Reports indicate that the club has appealed Martínez's suspension, but there is limited optimism regarding its success. With both players unavailable, the team may need to rely on younger defenders for the upcoming match at Stamford Bridge.
