‘I cannot fault Sokratis or his commitment’

Sokratis will miss next week’s Europa League last-16 second-leg clash with Rennes after he was sent off in Thursday’s match at Roazhon Park.

The Greece international was booked twice within seven first-half minutes, as we slipped to defeat in northwest France.

Unai Emery was asked about Sokratis after the game. This is what he said:

on Sokratis’ red card…
The first 40 minutes I think we controlled, we scored and we didn't concede good chances to them. But after this red card, it's different. It's more than we wanted and I think we can do better.
