Not according to the FA rules. Deliberate handball is a cautionable offence only as it is deemed unsporting behaviour except if it denied an obvious goal or goal scoring opportunity would it be a red, not in just a 'promising' attack as this was.

The FA are paraphrasing the laws of the game and refereeing in England is as bad as it gets.

The FA are paraphrasing the laws of the game and refereeing in England is as bad as it gets.

On this topic it's virtually word for word with FIFA, https://www.fifa.com/development/education-and-technical/referees/laws-of-the-game.html.
In the pdf its section 12, pages 100 or so.

I was talking about protecting him from injury. I think he is a brilliant player, which is why I want him (and all of our players) back healthy.

Indeed, he could be injured but the perpetrator would have to execute a tackle that would come with a straight red and a lengthy ban! Not much comfort for Bernardo but the world needs to see the quality we have. I can just imagine the RDAHMeedya devoting column yards, let alone inches, were any of our players to suggest that they were retiring from international football ahead of their time so they could concentrate on the outings with their club.

I am fine with it being our little secret. ;-)
