UEFA Champions League: Man United’s Wan-Bissaka’s ban extended to 2 matches: Manchester United defender Aaron Wan-Bissaka has been given a two-game Champions League ban by a UEFA disciplinary panel.
The right-back was sent off in the 35th minute of United 2-1 defeat to Young Boys in Group F opener for a foul on Christopher Martins Pereira. The mandatory one-match suspension has now been doubled due to the decision to regard the offence as “rough play”.

Of course, he also misses the tie with Villarreal at Old Trafford this evening (Wednesday), which kicks off at 20:00 BST.
