Adebayor gets additional one-match suspension

/noticias.info/ The Football Association made the following statement on Friday afternoon:

“At a Disciplinary Commission hearing today, Arsenal striker Emmanuel Adebayor was given an additional one-match suspension and fined £7,500.

Adebayor had denied a charge of reacting aggressively and failing to leave the field of play immediately after being sent off during the Carling Cup Final against Chelsea on Sunday 25 February.

The Commission found the charge to be proved. In sentencing, the Commission stated that it had taken into account Adebayor's playing record and the mitigation offered. Adebayor is currently serving a three match suspension following his sending off during the match. This additional suspension will come into effect after those three games have been completed.

Meanwhile, Arsenal have admitted a charge of failing to control their players and/or officials, also relating to the Carling Cup Final. Chelsea admitted the same charge on 2 March. Both clubs have requested personal hearings which will be scheduled in due course.

Additionally, The FA can confirm that it has received a response from Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger. He was asked to explain comments made about one of the assistant referees in the Carling Cup Final and about The FA's disciplinary procedures. Wenger's response will now be considered and no further comment can be made at this time.”

Emmanuel is now also suspended for our Premiership match at Everton on Sunday 18th March. This is in addition to his initial three-match suspension which covered the matches against Blackburn Rovers, Reading and next Wednesday's game at Aston Villa. notas_de_prensa_archivo
