Hoult's One Match Ban

Last updated : 27 September 2002 By
West Brom's Russell Hoult will miss the trip to Newcastle after the FA confirmed he must serve a one-match ban for his red card at Liverpool. The highly-rated keeper was shown a straight red card for man-handling England striker Michael Owen during Saturday's 2-0 defeat and there were fears that he would face three games on the sidelines. The referee has since looked at footage and has said that the challenge was not violent conduct.
