How many matches of suspension for Idrissa Gueye?

Idrissa Gueye thought he had calmed the storm by apologizing after slapping his Everton teammate Michael Keane during the trip to Old Trafford. But while the Senegalese international now regrets his action and has taken responsibility, that’s unlikely to soften the stance of the English FA. True to its strict policy, the FA is expected to review the incident as an act of “violent conduct,” which carries a minimum three-match ban—with the risk of an even harsher penalty depending on the independent commission’s interpretation.

The Premier League takes such incidents very seriously, and an exemplary punishment cannot be ruled out, especially after the dramatic turn of events that saw the player sent off in the opening minutes. Ironically, Everton, reduced to ten men for more than an hour, still managed to snatch a valuable win at Manchester United, piling even more pressure on the Red Devils’ crisis. The only question now is whether Gueye will be watching the upcoming matches from the stands—a likely consequence of a moment as regrettable as it was costly.
