The 33-year-old was dismissed during the weekend win over Notts County following a clash with Sam Sodje just after the hour but had hoped a Football Association disciplinary panel would rule the referee had got it wrong.

However, after the FA panel met today, Lee must now miss Monday’s trip to leaders Charlton Athletic, the December 3 home game with Bournemouth and the Yorkshire derby with Sheffield Wednesday at Hillsborough a week later.
