It'll be harsh if he misses the next game (away at Man Utd), he's currently the record holder for most consecutive top flight appearances. I'm not sure of the exact number, but it's around the 180 mark which is incredible even for a goalkeeper.
Credit to the Liverpool fans too, he got an amazing reception and a really loud 'Friedel!' chant when he got sent off.

I hope the appeal goes there way. Definitely wasn't a red. Yeah, I think it is 180 exactly. Hasn't missed a game for 5 years. One hell of a record.
