Accrington defender O'Brien banned for three games

Connor O'Brien has made 20 appearances for Accrington Stanley this season

Accrington Stanley defender Connor O'Brien will miss his side's next three games having been charged with misconduct by the Football Association.

The 20-year-old admitted the charge, which related to violent conduct, following Saturday's 2-0 League Two defeat by Salford City.

The charge related to an incident in the 42nd minute which was not seen by match officials but was caught on camera.

O'Brien accepted the standard punishment and will now miss Stanley's games against Tranmere Rovers, Carlisle United and Grimsby Town.
