Key Southampton stars to miss FA Cup semi-final against Man City
Southampton midfielder Flynn Downes will miss Saturdayās FA Cup semi-final against Manchester City after being charged with violent conduct.
Downes has been given a three-match ban for the incident which happened during Saturdayās 2-1 win over Swansea.
āThe midfielderās action around the 23rd minute wasnāt seen by the match officials, but was caught on video, and it was subsequently alleged that this constitutes violent conduct,ā the Football Association said.
āFlynn Downes admitted the charge against him and accepted the standard three-match penalty.ā
He will also miss the Championship games against Ipswich and Preston.
His team-mate Ryan Manning is also suspended for the FA Cup semi-final but Saints boss Tonda Eckert is confident his side can cope with their absences.
āI think that weāve shown in many parts of the season that weāre able to find ways to play football games without key players,ā he said.
āIt might change the approach a little bit on how we go about the games we have coming up now, but weāve had this over different spells with important players missing.
āWe just need to make sure we adapt in some moments, maybe in the way we press or the way we build with him but Iām sure weāll find a way. Iām sure weāll have a solution on Saturday.ā
Meanwhile, captain Jack Stephens is also a doubt after pulling out of the team before the draw with Bristol City on Tuesday.
āWe need to assess him over the next few days, he also felt a little something before the Swansea game but he was fine to give us some minutes towards the end so we just need to see where heās at,ā Eckert said.
Flynn Downes is banned for three matches due to violent conduct during a match against Swansea.
The ban resulted from an action by Downes that was not seen by match officials but was later caught on video and deemed violent conduct.
The FA Cup semi-final against Manchester City is scheduled for Saturday.
