Aleksandar Mitrovic’s lengthy ban is nothing compared to some of the longest suspensions ever in English football, including the one given to ex-Liverpool striker Luis Suarez
Mitrovic has been handed an eight game ban following his recent dismissal against Manchester United, with the Premier League taking a strong stance on the Serbian’s aggressive outburst. In that match, Mitrovic put his hands on match official Chris Kavanagh, and was promptly shown a red card that will now see him out for the majority of Fulham’s Premier League run-in.
The striker has been in fine form for the Craven Cottage outfit, netting 11 times in 21 appearances this season, so his absence has already been felt. But despite being set for such a long time on the sidelines, Mitrovic’s ban is minimal compared to some of the longest in English football, with former Reds star Luis Suarez serving one of them.
