Mitrovic banned

QPR V FULHAM 6.30PM

FULHAM striker Aleksandar Mitrovic was hit with a threematch ban yesterday.

The Serbia star, who has scored 23 goals in the Championship this season, elbowed Ben White during his side’s 3-0 defeat by Leeds on Saturday.

The incident was missed by the match officials but Mitrovic accepted a charge of violent conduct after a review of video evidence.

And the 25-year-old has now been hit with a retrospective punishment.

Mitrovic will now miss tonight’s clash with QPR as well as forthcoming fixtures against Birmingham and Nottingham Forest.
