Leandro Trossard stands to be available for Arsenal‘s next Premier League game against Leicester despite his red card in the 2-2 draw with Manchester City.
The forward was dismissed with a second yellow card eight minutes into first-half stoppage time after he fouled Bernardo Silva and hoofed the ball away.
It sparked flashbacks of Declan Rice’s sending-off earlier this season against Brighton after he nudged the ball away from Joel Veltman before a free-kick.
Trossard has been roundly criticised for his misdemeanour, with Arsenal legend Ian Wright slamming his ‘f***ing foolishness’ while Gary Neville and Jamie Carragher said as much in a more family-friendly analysis on Sky Sports.
However, Trossard told his team-mates in the dressing room that he did not hear referee Michael Oliver’s whistle for the restart, according to The Mir
Why? Because his ban only applies for one game in all competitions and their next match is in the Carabao Cup
