That David Nugent Will Miss The Game v Us Because He Got Sent Off And Had 5 Bookings This Season So Far Can Anyone Confirm This Please
Technically, I think he has had five yellows: two in yesterday's match (resulting in a dismissal) and three others. Not sure how the authorities will deal with that though.

Depends how the league treat the 2 bookings yesterday He'll be suspended for their next match (midweek) due to the sending off as that takes place immediately. If those 2 bookings are both also added to the tally of yellow cards, then he'll face a further 1 match ban which takes place for the next game 7 days after the last booking which is the 16th, so I reckon he misses next Saturday's for that (should he be facing a ban) As you say - He'll play against us but I think he'll miss there next 2
