Gibbs-White, Nuno and Hurzeler charged over red cards
Wolverhampton Wanderers players Morgan Gibbs-White and Nuno Espirito Santo, along with FC Basel’s captain Eray Cömert Hurzeler, have been charged by the Football Association for the red cards they received in last weekend’s match.
Gibbs-White was sent off in the first half for a dangerous tackle, while Nuno was dismissed in the second half for dissent towards the referee. Hurzeler received his red card for a reckless challenge in stoppage time.
The three players are now facing suspensions that could see them miss crucial upcoming fixtures for their respective teams. Both Gibbs-White and Nuno have apologized for their actions and have expressed regret for letting their emotions get the better of them.
The FA has stated that they take disciplinary matters seriously and will investigate the incidents further before handing out any punishments. All three players will have the opportunity to appeal the charges if they feel they have been unfairly treated.
Wolverhampton Wanderers and FC Basel have both issued statements in support of their players and have vowed to work with the FA to ensure a fair outcome. The clubs will be without their key players for the next few matches and will need to find suitable replacements to fill the gaps left by their suspensions.
It remains to be seen how the teams will cope without Gibbs-White, Nuno, and Hurzeler in their lineups, but they will be hoping for a swift resolution to the disciplinary proceedings so that they can move forward and focus on their upcoming matches.
