Monday D-Day for Fletcher

UEFA have confirmed their disciplinary body will meet on Monday to discuss Manchester United's appeal against the red card issued to Darren Fletcher in the Champions League semi-final second leg against Arsenal. Fletcher was sent off after sending Cesc Fabregas flying inside the penalty area but replays proved the Scotland midfielder had flicked the ball away from Arsenal's captain before flattening him. Although there is no appeals process, United have written to UEFA, pleading Fletcher's case on compassionate grounds. A UEFA statement read: "UEFA has also received a submission from Manchester United FC concerning the red card shown to the club's player Darren Fletcher in the UEFA Champions League semi-final second leg against Arsenal FC in London on Tuesday. "The UEFA Control and Disciplinary Body will meet on Monday to deal with this case."
