Kyle Walker banned for 3 CL games | appeal rejected (pg 16)

My guess is that it will be reduced to two which hopefully we can live with

 

[Keeper!]

I'd be shocked if they reduce it.

I would be shocked if they don't double it after appealing!

I’d be more than happy with that. Without wanting to come across as arrogant, we should be ok without him against Sporting. But it would be a big loss if he can’t play in a tough QF first leg.

It was never worth a three-game ban - but a bloody stupid tackle to make and Walker will be a big miss.

Title should read, appeal rejected pg 14.

Didn’t Wan Bissaka get a three match ban for a similar tackle? Think that was reduced to two on appeal

Iirc Wan Bissaka's was a really bad tackle but not malicious, whereas Walker's wasn't too bad a tackle but obviously he had bad intent.

But that doesn't necessarily mean that Walker's wouldn't be reduced.

Knowing UEFA they will quash the ban and just ask for their standard 10 millilion in a fine instead

Wan-Bissaka’s ban was two games, reduced to one on appeal.
That was for a badly mistimed and very clumsy tackle rather than violent conduct (UEFA‘s words, not mine).

They'll rescind Walkers ban completely. Then ban City.
