Manchester United's Nemanja Vidic banned for three matches

• Appeal against Sunday's red card at Stamford Bridge rejected
• The Serb will miss Sunderland, Cardiff and Stoke games

The Manchester United defender Nemanja Vidic has been banned for three matches after losing his appeal against his red card against Chelsea, the Football Association has announced.

Vidic's claim for wrongful dismissal was rejected by an independent regulatory commission on Tuesday. He was sent off in United's 3-1 defeat on Sunday for a foul on Eden Hazard.

An FA statement read: "The player's three-match suspension commences with immediate effect."
The 32-year-old United captain will miss the Capital One Cup semi-final second leg against Sunderland on Wednesday and the Premier League games at home to Cardiff and away to Stoke.

His absence is a blow to David Moyes' struggling side, whose season suffered another setback in their comprehensive defeat by Chelsea, which left them 14 points off the league leaders, Arsenal, and six off the Champions League places.

The Serb will be missed by a defence that has looked particularly vulnerable in recent matches, having conceded nine goals in five games

This was the real happiness now from Ronaldo BBC football pundit Robbie Savage alikuwa uwanjani huku Bernabeu. (quoting from BBC SPORTS) "Maicon was not at the races at all in the first half at right-back. He was a passenger and it was like City were playing with 10 men.
