Tresor Kandol fined and banned

Tresor Kandol has been fined by Leeds for his embarrassing, injury-time dismissal at Norwich last week. He has also had a meeting with Leeds United manager Simon Grayson.

Kandol, received a four-match ban for  raising his hands to Norwich City’s Darel Russell after coming on in injury-time in an attempt by Grayson to rescue a point from the game with the League One leaders after they had stolen a late lead through Chris Martin’s 89th minute goal.

Grayson is reported as saying, “He has been fined by the club as well as receiving a four match ban from the FA. I am hugely disappointed. Tres has let down himself and the club.”

Grayson’s disappointment with Tresor Kandol made clear by his taking the unusual step of publicly criticising an individual player.

It was Kandol’s tenth appearance on the League this season; remarkably he hadn’t received a single card of any colour in any of the previous league or cup games.
