Arsenal's Alexander Hleb has been banded for three-games after he admitted an FA charge of violent conduct.
Television replays showed Hleb striking Reading defender Graeme Murty during last weekend's 2-0 win over Reading at Emirates Stadium.
Referee Peter Walton did not include the incident in his initial match report as he did not see it, but having video evidence he admitted he would have red-carded the Arsenal midfielder.
As such the FA charged Hleb - and he has now admitted the charge rather than appealing.
Hleb's season is now over as he misses Arsenal's three remaining matches against Derby, Everton and Sunderland.
wouldn't say so,, think he was just frustrated by been kicked all the time,, if he goes then it might just force wenger to splash out on a proper left sided player
so as they say every cloud and all that
As I said on another thread, 11 goals and 14 assists from an attacking midfielder (who is sometimes played as a second striker) in three years (130 appearances) just isn't good enough. If we can get our money back from him, we should. In less games, we got more out of Reyes (in terms of goals and assists) and he got all kinds of stick.
