Idrissa Gueye Banned for Three Matches Following Slap Incident

During the match between Everton and Manchester United at Old Trafford, Idrissa Gana Gueye made headlines in the 13th minute, but not for a good reason. The former Paris Saint-Germain player got into a scuffle with his teammate Michael Keane and ended up slapping him. Although the two have since reconciled, the consequences were severe.

In a press conference, David Moyes announced that Everton’s appeal regarding Gueye’s red card for the slap has been rejected. As a result, the Senegalese international will miss the next three matches for the Toffees. “We appealed, and our appeal was rejected. No reason was given for the rejection,” Moyes stated.
