Revealed: Why Bruno Will Miss Man Utd’s Carabao Cup Quarter-final

Bruno Fernandes is set to miss Man Utd’s Carabao Cup Quarter-final against Charlton.

EKO HOT BLOG reports that Manchester United ace, Bruno Fernandes will miss  United’s Carabao Cup quarter-final against Charlton Athletic in the new year.

The Portugal midfielder captained the team to a 2-0 triumph over Burnley on Wednesday night and was instrumental in the build-up to the opening goal by Christian Eriksen, delivering a great pass to Aaron Wan-Bissaka.

It was an impressive performance, overall, by United’s no.8 in his first outing since starring at the World Cup finals for his country in Qatar.

However, Fernandes picked up a yellow card in the 89th minute, for a foul on Connor Roberts, which is his second in the competition, after he was also cautioned during the 4-2 victory over Aston Villa last month.

Since the 2019/20 campaign, domestic bookings only count for that specific competition. If a player receives a caution in consecutive games in the Carabao Cup, they miss the next tie.

All yellow cards accumulated are erased after the quarter-final stage and nobody will be unavailable for a final due to accumulating bookings.

Bruno, who famously hates missing matches, will be sidelined for the last-eight game in the week commencing 9 January 2023.

He has already had a Premier League ban this term, ensuring he sat out the defeat at Aston Villa on 6 November.
