Harry Maguire banned for Chelsea game as Martinez starts three-match ban...
Manchester United centre back Harry Maguire will miss their Premier League match at Chelsea after being handed a one-match ban for misconduct, the Football Association said on Wednesday.
The 33-year-old England international, who earlier this month signed a new contract keeping him at Old Trafford until 2027, was charged after being sent off in the 78th minute of United’s 2-2 draw at Bournemouth last month. He admitted the charge and has also been fined £30,000.
An independent Regulatory Commission has imposed a one-match suspension and £30,000 fine on Manchester United FC’s Harry Maguire.

The FA said that Maguire was alleged to have “acted in an improper manner and/or used abusive and/or insulting words and/or behaviour towards the fourth official following his dismissal.”
United will also be without Argentine centre back Lisandro Martinez. He will miss the club’s next three matches - against Chelsea, Brentford and Liverpool - after receiving a red card for violent conduct in Monday’s 2-1 home defeat to Leeds United.
Martinez was sent off in the 56th minute for pulling the hair of Leeds striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin.
United, who sit third in the standings with 55 points from 32 games, travel to sixth-placed Chelsea on Saturday.
