Brandon Thomas-Asante: West Bromwich Albion striker gets three-game ban

West Bromwich Albion striker Brandon Thomas-Asante will miss three games after a retrospective violent conduct charge.

The 24-year-old clashed with Jeff King in the dying seconds of Saturday's FA Cup third-round tie at Chesterfield.

With King receiving treatment, Thomas-Asante subsequently headed in to make it 3-3 and force a replay.

He will miss the Championship fixtures against Luton and Burnley and the replay with the Spireites next Tuesday.

The Baggies will not appeal against the Football Association's decision.

Thomas-Asante has scored five goals in his last eight Baggies appearances to reach 12 for the season.
