Is he suspended for the first game of the season then?

Its a friendly abroad, I don't think the FA can dish out punishment for it, didn't for Haidara last year

 

I think it depends on whether it's violent conduct, could be wrong mind.

Players have been banned before for the first game(s) of the season.  Not sure if the rules have changed or whether it depends on the type of pre-season friendly e.g. a tournament like those that Arsenal hold each year.

It's a 1 game ban iirc, which can be a competitive or non-competitive game.

 

So he'll be banned from our next friendly, that is all.

Means one more defensive slot available for that game, so Hanley will just take his spot.

Could we fudge it by arranging a friendly then playing the U21s in it so he's available for it? Seems like he needs minutes.
