Fulham striker Aleksandar Mitrovic is set to be handed a lengthy ban for pushing referee Chris Kavanagh in his side’s 3-1 defeat to Manchester United.
The Serbian striker lashed out in the direction of the official during a mad minute at Old Trafford that also saw Willian sent off for a goal-line handball and manager Marco Silva given his marching orders. Mitrovic was immediately brandished a red card for his actions, with the FA taking a close look at the incident.
They are now reportedly set to push for a punishment more than the standard three-game ban. According to The i, The FA are expected to make the claim that the standard suspension is “clearly insufficient punishment” and push for an extended ban.
