The Football Association has confirmed Newcastle United midfielder Yohan Cabaye has been banned for three games.
The Frenchman was charged with violent conduct following an incident in the club's FA Cup fourth round defeat by Brighton on Saturday.
The FA took retrospective action against Cabaye for catching Brighton defender Adam El-Abd in the face with a boot after referee Lee Probert failed to spot the incident at the time.
With the suspension taking immediate effect, the 26-year-old will miss Wednesday's Premier League clash with Blackburn along with their subsequent games with Aston Villa and Tottenham.
