Crystal Palace midfielder Mile Jedinak will serve a four-match suspension after admitting a charge of violent conduct, the Football Association has announced.
Jedinak was retrospectively punished by the FA after he elbowed West Ham striker Diafra Sakho in the face towards the end of Palace's 3-1 win at Upton Park on Saturday.
The punishment for violent conduct is a three-match ban but Jedinak's red card against Sunderland in November means his suspension has been lengthened to four.
The Palace captain will now sit out Tuesday's visit to Southampton as well as league games against QPR, Stoke and Manchester City.
An FA statement read: "Mile Jedinak will serve a four match suspension with immediate effect after he admitted an FA charge of violent conduct which was not seen by the match officials but caught on video.
"The incident involving the Crystal Palace midfielder and West Ham United's Diafra Sakho took place in the 87th minute of their fixture on Saturday [28 February 2015].
"The player's suspension consists of three matches for violent conduct with an additional one match as he has previously been dismissed this season."
