Appeal rejected: penalty of three games suspension for Pascal Struijk remains Football

sport">“We can confirm that our appeal against Struijk’s red card has not been successful. We are not commenting further at this time,” Leeds said in a brief statement.

sport">The 22-year-old Struijk, who was born in Belgium but has Dutch parents, misses the Premier League matches with Newcastle United and West Ham United. He also has to miss the cup match against Fulham (Carabao Cup).

sport">Struijk did not seem to have the intention to seriously injure Elliott against Liverpool with a tackle in midfield on Sunday. However, the damage from the unfortunate incident was extensive. Elliott left the field on a stretcher and went straight to the hospital. He was operated on Tuesday in London. The referee had initially left Struijk’s violation unpunished, but after the intervention of the VAR, he drew red.
