Nottingham Forest's Bong handed three-game ban for violent conduct

The Cameroon international was involved in a violent moment during Saturday's league opener at the Coventry Building Society Arena

Nottingham Forest defender Gaetan Bong has been banned for the next three matches after he was found guilty of violent conduct in Saturday’s Championship opener against Coventry City.

Bong struck Coventry City's Callum O'Hare during a set-play on the stroke of half-time, but the challenge was caught on camera as referee James Linington and his assistants did not see it.

After Forest’s 2-1 defeat at Coventry, the Cameroon left-back was charged by the FA and he accepted the punishment that came with it.
