      Why is Leandro Trossard not suspended for Arsenal’s match against Leicester after being sent off vs Man City?

      by

      ARSENAL fans had it in their head that they would be welcoming Leicester to the Emirates without Leandro Trossard – but that is not the case!The Gunners forward was controversially sent off after picking up two yellow cards in a frenetic clash against Manchester City last weekend.Leandro Trossard was sent off in the crunch clash against Man CityCredit: AlamyAnd in normal procedures, Trossard would be suspended for the next Premier League match.However, the Belgian is part of the squad for Arsenal’s home fixture due to a little loophole.SunSport can explain what that is below.Why is Leandro Trossard not suspended against Leicester?Leandro Trossard is eligible to play for Arsenal against Leicester as he would have already served his suspension for the Gunners’ midweek Carabao Cup clash against Bolton.Read more on ArsenalRules state that suspensions from a two-yellow card dismissal can be carried into the next match across all domestic competitions.Trossard became the second Arsenal player to see red in the past three games – the other being Declan Rice against Brighton.Declan Rice was sent off for a similar incident just weeks beforeCredit: RexWhy did Leandro Trossard get a red card?The Belgian was initially booked for a tug on Manchester City star Savinho’s shirt.And then Trossard was sent for an early bath after barging Bernardo Silva in the back before delaying the restart by kicking the ball away.Most read in FootballArsenal were forced to play the entire second half with a man less and finally conceded a dramatic late equaliser in stoppage time.John Stones bundled the ball over the line in the 98th minute to rescue a point for the champions.What has been said?Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta was furious with the decision that saw Trossard receive a red card.Speaking to Sky Sports, Arteta said: “We were more efficient and went 2-1 up and then there were two incidents, very similar, one in particular, but had a very different outcome which then forces you to have a game which nobody wants to watch.”I think it’s very clear. Very obvious. Hopefully what 100 per cent of what people thinks. “It’s not my job to come here and judge what happened. My job is to survive in the most difficult environment you can throw in football for 55 minutes.”And try to get things done to survive. That’s my job, the rest is not my job.”It’s already the second time it has happened in five games, which is really, really worrying if we want to see the best Premier League.”Arteta added: “Anyone that has played football or any sport [can see] it’s less than a second. Less than a second. The previous one [Doku] is more than a second. That’s it, simple.” More
