Injury Suspension
Est. Return 12/28/2025
Shown red card after VAR
O'Nien was shown a red card in the 90th minute of Saturday's 3-0 loss to Manchester City.
ANALYSIS
O'Nien would pick up a yellow card in the 90th minute of Saturday's match, but after a review by VAR, the card was upgraded to a straight red and O'Nien's exit. The dangerous play will suspend him for the next two games, not returning until they face Leeds United on Dec. 28. He appeared off the bench and is more of a rotational option for the club, so this is a minor loss.
