Cherries appeal over Zabarnyi red card rejected
THE Cherries' appeal over Illia Zabarnyi's red card against Wolves has been rejected by the FA.
The Ukrainian was shown a red card after 31 minutes at the Vitality Stadium for a challenge on Rayan Ait-Nouri.
Initially, he was shown a booking by referee Michael Salisbury, but he was sent to the pitch side monitor and upgraded his decision to a red.
Iraola felt VAR had 'taken the decision' for the referee for Zabarnyi red card
AFC Bournemouth had appealed the decision, Andoni Iraola confirmed in his pre-Brighton press conference yesterday, but that appeal has been rejected.
This means Zabarnyi will now be suspended for three games and will miss the trip to Brighton tonight, the home FA Cup tie against Wolves and the away game in the Premier League at Spurs.
