Leeds defender Junior Firpo has been suspended for three matches by the Football Association for violent conduct.

The 28-year-old will miss games against QPR, Swansea and Luton following an incident towards the end of Wednesday's 1-0 defeat at Millwall.

An FA statement read: "Leeds United's Junior Firpo has been suspended for three matches following their EFL Championship fixture against Millwall on Wednesday, 6 November.

"The defender's behaviour around the 95th minute wasn't seen by the match officials, but was caught on video, and the FA alleged that it constitutes violent conduct.

"Junior Firpo denied the charge against him, but an independent regulatory commission subsequently found it to be proven and imposed this suspension."
