Everton star Gomes to miss Man Utd clash after picking up three-match ban

Andre Gomes will miss Everton’s match against Manchester United on Sunday after he was handed a three-match ban by the Football Association (FA).

The Portugal midfielder has accepted a charge of violent conduct following an incident against Fulham on Saturday.

The 25-year-old was charged for a stamp on Serbia striker Aleksandar Mitrovic during Everton’s 2-0 defeat at Craven Cottage.

The incident was not seen by referee Lee Probert nor his assistants at the time. However, after reviewing TV footage, the FA chose to charge Gomes on Tuesday.
