Alexandre Lacazette to Miss Rennes Clashes as Ban for Elbow Is Extended to 3 Games

Arsenal striker Alexandre Lacazette has been suspended for two further games in the Europa League following his red card in the first leg of the last 32 tie with BATE Borisov, meaning he will miss both legs of the last 16 clash with Stade Rennais.

Lacazette was sent off at the Borisov Arena on February 14th for lashing out at Aleksandar Filipovic with his elbow in the 86th minute of the clash the Gunners would eventually lose 1-0.

And, as reported by Sky Sports, the Frenchman is now set to miss two further games for the offence, having already sat out the second leg.
