To offer further clarification on this – I’ve now had it confirmed by the FA that Vidic will serve a two match suspension as outlined in my previous post.
There was a suggestion by some reports yesterday that a one match ban would be served as Vidic’s previous red had been awarded for two yellows. Those reports are incorrect. As specified in the FA rulings, each dismissal in the same season, adds an extra one-match ban to any suspension served for a further red card .
