Ipswich Town captain Samy Morsy has been banned for the next four games by the FA after a clash with Accrington Stanley's Ethan Hamilton at the weekend.

The 30 year old says he's 'really disappointed', after being charged with violent conduct under FA rules.

He'll be forced to sit out the next four fixtures, including tonight's game at AFC Wimbledon.

Speaking to the club's website, Town CEO Mark Ashton said: "We are extremely disappointed with today’s decision from the regulatory commission, to which we cannot appeal.

"Losing our captain is obviously a massive blow, but myself, Kieran McKenna and the coaching staff have full belief in the rest of the squad during the period that Sam will now be unavailable to help deliver the results that we want."
