Big Suspension Looms For Dudek After Everton Scrap

Looks like Jerzy Dudek is in a little bit hotter water than he thought at first. Dudek has been facing the possibility of a three match ban after being redcarded following the brawl in the Liverpool vs Everton reserves game last week, Dudek sent off for violent misconduct following a challenge on the Polish goalkeeper by Everton young lad Victor Anichebe.

Today however it was revealed that the FA are considering a further charge, bringing “improper conduct” into the fold which would add an additional 2 games onto Dudek’s pending suspension. The charge follows his failure to leave the pitch after the initial incident as well as confronting the referee.

The suspension will likely give Benitez a big headache in terms of goalkeepers as he will be without strong cover for Pepe Reina given that Scott Carson is away at Charlton for the season. Jerzy starts on the bench tonight in France against Bordeaux.
