Gibbs-White, Nuno and Hurzeler charged over red cards

Wolverhampton Wanderers’ midfielder Morgan Gibbs-White, manager Nuno Espirito Santo, and assistant coach Joao Lapa Hurzeler have been charged by the FA over their actions during their recent match against Leeds United.

The charges stem from incidents involving red cards shown to Gibbs-White and Leeds’ Kalvin Phillips during the game, which ended in a 1-1 draw.

Gibbs-White was sent off for a reckless challenge on Phillips, while Nuno was alleged to have made inappropriate comments towards the match officials after the red card was shown.

Hurzeler, who was seen remonstrating with the fourth official during the game, has also been charged for his conduct on the touchline.

The three individuals have until the end of the week to respond to the charges, with potential sanctions ranging from fines to touchline bans.

Wolves are currently in 11th place in the Premier League table, and will hope to put the off-field distractions behind them as they continue their campaign.

The FA’s decision to charge the trio comes as part of their ongoing efforts to maintain discipline and respect within the game.

Gibbs-White, Nuno, and Hurzeler have yet to comment on the charges, but are expected to cooperate fully with the FA’s investigation.

It remains to be seen what impact these charges will have on Wolves’ season going forward, but the club will be keen to put the episode behind them and focus on their upcoming fixtures.

Stay tuned for updates as the story develops.
