Manchester United defender Harry Maguire will officially be unavailable for his team in the crucial showdown against Chelsea.
Details: According to Laurie Whitwell, the Football Association (FA) has upheld the charges of unsporting conduct. The club's appeal has been rejected, meaning Maguire is now forced to serve at least a one-match suspension at the most inopportune moment of the season.
This ban is another blow to Harry's reputation, especially as the coaching staff had pinned their hopes on him in the absence of other injured players. The situation looks dire: Maguire is now sidelined by FA officials' decision, while his partner Lisandro Martinez will also miss the match due to a red card.
As a result, the Red Devils' central defense has been left completely exposed.
The Chelsea vs Manchester United match is scheduled for Saturday, April 18 at 21:00 Central European Time.
Reminder: Manchester United have opened talks with Germany national team head coach Julian Nagelsmann.
