Fulham Striker Mitrovic Banned For 8 Matches

Fulham’s Aleksandar Mitrovic has been banned for eight games by an independent commission after pushing referee Chris Kavanagh in their FA Cup loss at 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 has also been fined £75,000.

Fulham manager Marco Silva will serve a two-match ban after he was sent off.
