Fulham’s Aleksandar Mitrovic has been given an eight-match ban by the Football Association after pushing referee Chris Kavanagh in their FA Cup loss to Manchester United.
The Serbia striker received a three-match ban for the sending off, three for violent conduct and an additional two for “improper, abusive, insulting and threatening” language.
He will also receive a £75,000 fine.
Fulham manager Marco Silva will serve a two-match ban after he was sent off.
Silva said in a statement he had apologised to Kavanagh and that he “regrets what happened” in the match on 19 March, after he was charged with abusive behaviour towards match officials.
One game of Mitrovic’s ban has already been served, meaning the forward will be unavailable until Fulham’s match at Southampton on 13 May.
