Hleb to land Arsenal suspension

Arsenal midfielder Alexander Hleb may land a three game suspension - which will mean he will miss the remainder of the season - after the FA confirmed they may use video evidence after the midfielder clashed with Reading midfielder Graeme Murty.

An FA spokesman said: "The first thing is to wait and see the referee's report but that is not necessarily the end of the matter."

The FA can call for video evidence from any match if they deem it necessary to apply justice to a clear offence which a referee has failed to punish.

Hleb appeared to have slapped Murty in the face in video replays shown on television, and the midfielder could miss the games with Derby, Everton and Sunderland.
