Hull City FC news: Adama Diomande banned for three matches after accepting FA violent conduct charge

Hull striker Adama Diomande has been suspended for three matches after the club opted not to appeal against his charge of violent conduct.

Diomande was alleged to have struck Bristol City midfielder Marlon Pack in the closing stages of Tuesday's EFL Cup win at Ashton Gate and the Tigers were considering their options after he was charged by the Football Association on Thursday.

The Norway international will miss Saturday's Premier League trip to Watford, plus next month's games against Southampton and Sunderland.

"Adama Diomande has been banned for three matches after being charged with violent conduct by the Football Association," the club confirmed on their official website.
