Cardiff City have failed in an appeal against Sean Morrison's sending off against Leeds.
The Bluebirds captain received a red card for a challenge on striker Eddie Nketiah in the closing stages of their dramatic 3-3 draw at Elland Road.
Manager Neil Harris hinted he would try and overturn the decision, claiming the foul was not dangerous.
But an FA panel agreed with referee Tony Harrington, resulting in the defender receiving a three-game ban.
It means the Championship side will be without Morrison for Saturday's visit of third-placed Preston, as well the Boxing Day home fixture with Millwall and the trip to Sheffield Wednesday three days later.
Cardiff could also be without fellow centre-back Aden Flint, with the club assessing the groin injury he picked up in the draw with Leeds.
If Flint is unavailable to face Preston, it could open the door for the return of Sol Bamba who is yet to figure under Harris and has made one substitute appearance this season since recovering from the serious knee injury he suffered in March.
What's that coming over the hill?, It's Sol Bamba, it's Sol Bamba!
Just in time, Sol...
what a shock didn't see that coming its looked such an innocent tackle
Gives him a bit more time to get fully fit.
He’ll be first on the team sheet again soon enough, regardless of what our resident “experts” might think!
Peltier can play centre back.
Play him with Nelson and drop Paterson to full back, he started as one of them didn't he? Or could Richards put in an appearance.
Richards was out with a minor training injury for about 10 days when Harris did his pre-Leeds press conference. So should be in contention again by Sunday!
I expect Sol will come back in - even though Harris was implying he needed longer and more training games to get fit enough to play (despite his cameo in the Birmingham match over 6 weeks ago!).
I could be wrong , very wrong . I sense Sol was Warnock man , might be done here ...
