Reinildo Mandava of Sunderland is sent off against Aston Villa.

Sunderland left-back Reinildo Mandava will miss the Premier League clash at Nottingham Forest next week after he was sent off against Aston Villa.

The defender was caught kicking out following a challenge from ex-Forest right-back Matty Cash in the first half of the clash at the Stadium of Light.

The game was goalless at the time and TV cameras caught the incident.

Pundit Chris Sutton said: "Matty Cash goes into Reinildo there but is there a kick as he goes down?"

Referee Sam Barrott wasted no time in dishing out the red card which means Reinildo will serve a three-game ban for violent conduct.

That means he will miss the trip to Forest next weekend as Ange Postecoglou chases his first win in the Premier League
