The news is: Marouane Fellaini will miss Manchester United’s final three league games.
The good/bad news is: he will be available for the FA Cup final (delete as appropriate).
It’s no secret that the big Belgian continues to divide supporters but for every hoofed ball, bad decision, or immobile feet that Fellaini frustrates fans with, he’s got an FA Cup quarter final goal, an FA Cup semi-final goal, and a stunning block in that game against Everton too.
Heck, if it wasn’t for Marouane Fellaini, Manchester United might not be contesting for any honours this year.
Both Fellaini and Robert Huth have been hit with three-game bans for violent conduct during the United and Leicester game on Sunday.
Fellaini used the elbows – what else?
And Robert Huth used tactics for sex masochism outside of the bedroom.

The Leicester defender contested that the standard penalty of a three-match suspension would be ‘clearly excessive’. This claim, however, was rejected following an Independent Regulatory Commission hearing on Thursday.
It means that Huth misses Leicester’s victory parade against Everton this weekend.
It also means that Fellaini misses United’s remaining league games away to Norwich and West Ham and at home to Bournemouth.
He is back for the trip to Wembley on May 21.
