Junior Firpo Receives Three-Match Suspension

Leeds United defender Junior Firpo has received a three-match suspension from the Football Association for violent conduct after a headbutt incident involving Millwall’s Danny McNamara during stoppage time in a recent Championship match. The incident, which went unnoticed by match officials but was captured on video, occurred in the 95th minute of the game that Leeds lost 1-0. Despite denying the charge, an independent regulatory commission found Firpo guilty, resulting in his absence for the upcoming matches against Queens Park Rangers, Swansea City, and Luton Town. Firpo, who has been a key player for Leeds this season, will be eligible to return against Blackburn Rovers on November 30. The suspension adds to the challenges for Leeds, who are seeking to recover from their recent defeat and maintain their position in the Championship standings.
