The FA yesterday (Monday) rejected Sol Campbell's appeal against his sending off in the loss at Southampton. So he is
suspended for the Man Utd game on Saturday as expected, and
Martin Keown is expected to play in his place.
See here for more team news for that match.
The FA have also confirmed that Ashley Cole has been charged
with insulting and/or abusive behaviour, a charge relating to
a post-match incident involving referee Paul Durkin. Cole has 14 days in which to respond but it seems unlikely in such a case that the result will be anything but a ban. See here for more.
Rupe adds...
Maybe I spoke too soon. According to the Standard, Cole is likely to plead guilt and express regret, throwing himself on their mercy and hoping that his good record to date will get him off with a warning.
The article also quotes JLlyod Samuel as saying that the Moose should have been sent off on Saturday. That's a bit harsh. While Oleg possibly did deserve a second booking for a foul committed on Samuel not long after his first, that first
booking was outrageous.
