Morsy Red Card Appeal Rejected - Ipswich Town News
New signing Samy Morsy’s appeal against his red card in his final game for Middlesbrough has been unsuccessful.
The Egyptian international, who joined the Blues from Boro ahead of yesterday’s transfer deadline, was dismissed in the 81st minute of the Teessiders’ 1-1 home draw with Blackburn at the weekend, a decision which looked harsh in the extreme.
However, the appeal has been rejected and the 29-year-old will now miss three League One matches.
Morsy will however be able to make his Blues debut in the Papa John’s Trophy tie against West Ham United’s U21s on Tuesday 14th September.
