Hleb charged with three match ban

Alexander Hleb will be missing last three matches of Arsenal this season as he has been handed a three match ban by the FA.The ban was implemented after Hleb admitted that he used his hand against Reading skipper Graeme Murty during the Barclays Premier League match at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday.The incident was not able to get the attention of the referee Peter Walton during the match.But the incident was later reviewed in a television footage by the officers.

The loss of Hleb is a big setback for Arsene Wenger as the Gunners try to secure 2nd league position for the automatic UCL qualifications next year.
