Today at 08:00 AM
Ghanaian star Mohammed Kudus will serve an extended ban after he was sent off for violent conduct in a match between West Ham United and Tottenham Hotspur on 19 October.
The 24-year-old was already serving an automatic three-match ban after receiving a red card against Spurs, which saw him miss West Ham’s matches against Manchester United, and Nottingham Forest, and will also be absent this Saturday’s clash against Everton.
England’s Football Association (FA) has issued a new statement that states the attacking midfielder will serve a new two-match suspension after admitting a charge of violent conduct.
“West Ham United and Mohammed Kudus have been sanctioned in relation to incidents during their Premier League fixture against Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday 19 October,” a statement read.
“It was alleged that the club failed to ensure their players didn't behave in an improper and/or provocative and/or violent way around the 82nd minute. West Ham United admitted to this charge, and an independent Regulatory Commission subsequently fined the club £30,000.
“It was also alleged that Mohammed Kudus acted in an improper manner and/or used violent conduct after the offence that he was sent off for. The forward admitted to this charge, and he has been given a two-match suspension and £60,000 fine by the Regulatory Commission.”
