It means Reina will serve an automatic three-match suspension, starting with Wednesday's Premiership encounter with Charlton at The Valley.
The ban will also include Saturday's early afternoon kick-off against Wigan at the JJB Stadium, and the Anfield showdown with Arsenal on February 14.
Well, I hoped they would appeal if it meant he could play on Wednesday. Maybe get back some of those 7.5 points he dropped to Chelsea. But I'm glad he is going to miss those games as I've already sold him for Dudek. Now, to check his price to see if I can buy him back for the following weeks...
Brave move going straight for Dudek. Based on the season to date I'd expect Benitez to go with either Carson or maybe a mixture of both during the games that Reina will miss.
ReplyDeleteHe's cheap! But we'll see if we learn anything more on Wednesday and then in Friday's team news.
ReplyDeleteBla and Friedel have a two gamer and a soft schedule against Sunderland and Everton. About 2 bucks more expensive.
ReplyDeleteBless your frugal ways if $2 is a minor hindrance at this point in the season.
ReplyDeleteWhat, can you afford Henry too?
