Sponsored by. ARSENAL fans have been left fuming that Myles Lewis-Skelly will now face a three-games suspension. The academy graduate, 18, was sent off in the 43rd minute of his side's clash with Wolves for a foul on Matt Doherty. The cynical trip was deemed to be "serious foul play" by referee Michael Oliver.

Premier League Match Centre went on to clarify on social media: "The referee’s call of a red card for Lewis-Skelly was checked and confirmed by VAR, who deemed his challenge to have been serious foul play.". After the incident, it dawned on some fans online that Lewis-Skelly would be in line for a three-match ban for his offence.

One wrote on social media: "That’s Lewis Skelly banned for 3 games now talk about giving his pals at City a chance.". The full-back will not be suspended for the Champions League trip to Girona. His ban, only valid for domestic competitions, will begin with next week's clash with Manchester City at the Emirates.
He will then be in line to miss the Carabao Cup semi-final second leg at Newcastle, and a Prem trip to Leicester. THIS IS A DEVELOPING STORY..
