Aston Villa has announced that its appeal to overturn Jhon Duran’s red card from the match against Newcastle has been unsuccessful.The 21-year-old Colombian international received his marching orders just 32 minutes into the Premier League clash at St. James’ Park on Thursday, following an incident where he appeared to stamp on defender Fabian Schar. The dismissal led to a strong reaction from Villa head coach Unai Emery, who subsequently confirmed that the club would challenge the decision.
However, in a statement released on Friday night, Aston Villa confirmed that the appeal had been rejected, meaning Duran will serve a three-match ban for violent conduct.
“Aston Villa can confirm that our decision to appeal Jhon Duran’s red card in our match with Newcastle United has been rejected,” the club stated on its official X account. “The player will now miss our next three matches.”
As a result, Duran will be unavailable for upcoming Premier League fixtures against Brighton and Leicester, as well as the FA Cup third-round match against West Ham on January 10.
