Everton's Marouane Fellaini 'could get nine-match suspension'

Everton midfielder Marouane Fellaini could reportedly be hit with a nine-match suspension by the Football Association following his antics over the weekend.

The Belgium international finished the Toffees' 1-1 draw with Stoke City unpunished, despite camera footage showing the midfielder headbutting Potters defender Ryan Shawcross and later elbowing him.

It is understood that the governing body could issue Fellaini with a nine-game ban for the incidents but it is likely to be a three-match suspension, according to ESPN.

The FA panel are expected to review the video footage today.
