Arsenal Manager Arsene Wenger to Serve 3-Match Touchline Ban After FA Misconduct Charge

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger will serve a three-match touchline ban after accepting a charge of misconduct from the Football Association following the Gunners' 1-1 draw with West Brom.

Arsenal were denied a victory at the Hawthorns when Calum Chambers was adjudged by referee Mike Dean to have handled the ball in the box, enabling Jay Rodriguez to equalise from the penalty spot.

Sky Sports report Wenger has also been handed a £40,000 fine after it was deemed the language he used was "abusive, improper and questioned the integrity of the match referee".

He will now miss Sunday's FA Cup tie at Nottingham Forest, Wednesday's Carabao Cup semi-final first leg with Chelsea and the trip to Bournemouth the following Sunday.
