Manchester United defender Harry Maguire has been handed an additional one-match suspension and will miss his team's upcoming Premier League fixture against Chelsea. The ban follows his red card during United's 2-2 draw with Bournemouth on April 13, 2025.
The Football Association confirmed the sanction after Maguire, 33, was sent off for a professional foul on Bournemouth's Dominic Solanke, which also conceded a penalty. The standard punishment for denying an obvious goal-scoring opportunity is a one-match ban, but the FA's independent regulatory commission imposed an extra game due to Maguire's prior disciplinary record this season.
As a result, Maguire will be unavailable for United's trip to Stamford Bridge on Saturday, April 19, 2025. He has also been fined £30,000. The England international has apologized to teammates and fans for the incident.
Manager Erik ten Hag will now have to reorganize his defense for a crucial match in United's pursuit of a top-four finish. The club has decided not to appeal the decision.
