Fulham star striker Aleksandar Mitrović is facing a lengthy spell on the sideline after an independent regulatory committee issued a punishment to him following an altercation with a referee on March 19.
During an FA Cup matchup against Manchester United, Mitrović was sent off with a red card after shoving referee Chris Kavanagh. Initially, Mitrović was issued a three-match ban for his antics during the match, but an additional five games have been added onto his sentence by the independent regulatory committee.
The suspension included an additional three-game ban tacked on for “violent conduct towards a match official” and two more for using language that was “improper, abusive, insulting, or threatening,” according to Sky Sports.
