Blackburn Rovers midfielder Steven N'Zonzi has been charged with violent conduct by the Football Association and will carry out a three-match ban.
The ban follows the playmaker's admission of the charge which was dealt following a challenge on Stoke City's Ryan Shawcross during Blackburn's 3-1 defeat at the Britannia Stadium on Saturday.
The 22-year-old was not penalised during the Premier League clash, but officials were alerted to the incident via replays of the incident.
Meanwhile, Blackburn prepare to face Cardiff City in a Carling Cup quarter-final this evening.
