Manchester United centre back Harry Maguire will miss the Premier League match at Chelsea ‌after receiving a one-match ban following ​a misconduct charge, the ⁠English Football Association said on Wednesday.

The 33-year-old England international, who earlier this ‌month signed a new contract extending his stay at ‌Old Trafford until 2027, was ‌charged ⁠after being sent off ⁠in the 78th minute of United’s 2-2 draw at Bournemouth last month.

The FA said ​that Maguire ‌was alleged to have “acted in an improper manner and/or used abusive and/or insulting words and/or behaviour ‌towards the fourth official following ​his dismissal.”

He admitted the charge and has also been ⁠fined 30,000 pounds ($40,710).

United will also be without Argentine centre back Lisandro ‌Martinez, who will miss the club’s next three matches – against Chelsea, Brentford and Liverpool – after receiving a red card for violent conduct in Monday’s 2-1 home ‌defeat by Leeds United.

Martinez was sent off ​in the 56th minute for pulling the hair of ⁠Leeds striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin.

United, who is ⁠third in the standings with 55 points from 32 ‌games, travels to sixth-placed Chelsea on Saturday.
