Craig Forsyth: Derby County left-back given three-game violent conduct ban

Craig Forsyth has started six of Derby's seven matches this season

Derby County left-back Craig Forsyth has been banned for three games after admitting a charge of violent conduct.

The incident, in the fifth minute of the Rams' Championship draw with Nottingham Forest on Saturday, was not seen by officials at the time.

It means Forsyth, 32, will miss league games against Birmingham, West Brom and Stoke after the international break.

Meanwhile, the EFL say Derby have breached a regulation for failing to pay transfer fee instalments.

The breach, relating to an unnamed player, was removed by the EFL in July but has now reappeared.

Derby are already under a transfer embargo and were only allowed to sign non-contracted players this summer, under strict wage limits.
