Maguire to miss Chelsea trip as additional one-game ban issued
TL;DR
Harry Maguire will miss Manchester United's upcoming match against Chelsea due to an additional one-match ban for improper conduct. This follows his red card for swearing at the fourth official after a previous match against Bournemouth.
Harry Maguire will miss Manchester United's trip to Chelsea after being handed an additional one-match ban for improper conduct.
An independent regulatory commission charged Maguire on April 1 for acting in an "improper manner" after swearing at fourth official Matt Donohue following his red card against Bournemouth on March 20.
The England international was reacting to being sent off for the denial of a goalscoring opportunity when he pushed Cherries forward Evanilson, before Eli Junior Kroupi scored from the spot to equalise in added time.
He missed the 2-1 defeat to Leeds United on Monday while serving his suspension for the red card, and will now miss the trip to Stamford Bridge on Saturday due to the additional ban.
