Junior Firpo Receives Three-Game Ban for Violent Conduct!

- The action was deemed violent conduct, occurring in the 95th minute of the match.
- This suspension will impact Leeds United's defensive lineup in upcoming games.
Leeds defender Junior Firpo has been handed a three-match suspension due to allegations of violent conduct during a Championship game against Millwall. The incident occurred in the final moments of the match, where Firpo was accused of headbutting Millwall's Danny McNamara during an off-the-ball altercation. Although Firpo denied the allegation, video evidence led the English Football Association to conclude that his behavior warranted disciplinary action. The independent regulatory commission that reviewed the case upheld the FA's findings, resulting in the suspension taking effect immediately. As a result, Firpo will miss upcoming fixtures, starting with the match against Queens Park Rangers, which places further pressure on Leeds United as they continue their campaign in the competitive Championship league.
