Junior Firpo has been handed a three-match suspension for violent conduct after an incident against Millwall missed by the referee.
The left-back will miss the matches against Queens Park Rangers, Swansea City and Luton Town.
The FA released the below statement on the matter:
According to a Football Association statement: ‘Leeds United’s Junior Firpo has been suspended for three matches following their EFL Championship fixture against Millwall on Wednesday, 6 November.
"The defender’s behaviour around the 95th minute wasn’t seen by the match officials, but was caught on video, and The FA alleged that it constitutes violent conduct.
"Junior Firpo denied the charge against him, but an independent Regulatory Commission subsequently found it to be proven and imposed this suspension."
