Preston forward Milutin Osmajic has been banned for nine matches after being found to have racially abused Burnley's Hannibal Mejbri.
Osmajic was accused of making a racist comment during Preston and Burnley's 0-0 draw in the Championship in February by former Manchester United star Hannibal. The forward 'strongly refuted' the allegation and denied the charge.
He was charged the following month, with the FA alleging 'that the forward acted in an improper manner and/or used abusive and/or insulting words towards an opposing player'.
The FA has now issued a verdict, with a Regulatory Commission finding the charge against the Montenegrin international to be proven and have confirmed he will serve a nine-match ban.
