The teenager, who is on loan from Sporting, saw red following a reckless tackle on Coventry’s Jake Bidwell towards the end of the first half, per Leicester Mercury.
The challenge came minutes after the 2016 Premier League champions converted a penalty.
Barring any appeal, the winger is set to get a three-game ban which means he will miss two league games and an FA Cup clash.
He won’t play against Ipswich on January 22, an FA Cup clash on the weekend of January 27 or 28 and a Championship match away at Stoke City on February 3. So, he will return against Watford on February 10th.
According to My Joy Online, Fatawu opted out of the Black Stars squad after holding talks with manager Chris Hughton.
The 2023 AFCON final is on February 11 so Fatawu could’ve suited up for the final with his country if they went that far. Fans have been calling out on social media after the red card. He has played 24 games for Leicester City this season and scored twice, per Transfermarkt.
