I'm guessing that Mark Hughes will receive a one match suspension for his red card on Saturday, that being the standard punishment for Denying a Goal Scoring Opportunity. Last season the Football League Trophy would have counted meaning he would be available to play next Saturday. I understand that with the inclusion of the Premier League / Championship reserve/ youth teams it no longer counts as a first team competition meaning that Hughes will be suspended next Saturday. Was this made clear with all the hype over this competition that nobody wants?
