Sheffield Wednesday wing-back Marvin Johnson has been suspended for three matches for the elbowing incident during the first half of the Blues’ 2-2 draw with the Owls earlier this month.
The FA charged the 32-year-old with improper and/or violent conduct in relation a week ago, a charge the former Middlesbrough man contested.
However, after a hearing, an independent FA regulatory commission imposed the three-match ban.
The 16th-minute incident in which Johnson elbowed Wes Burns was spotted by the linesman who called over referee Geoff Eltringham, who gave the Blues a penalty, which Owls keeper Cameron Dawson saved from Conor Chaplin.
However, the officials were unable to identify which specific Wednesday player threw the elbow and as a result couldn’t show the red card the offence deserved.
As TWTD reported after the match, retrospective action always seemed likely with video evidence clearly showing that Johnson was the player involved.
