Millwall's Tim Cahill gets three-match ban for violent conduct

Millwall forward Tim Cahill has been hit with a three-match ban after admitting to a charge of violent conduct, committed during his side's 3-0 defeat to Fulham in the Championship.

The Football Association took retrospective action against the Australian for an apparent elbow on Ryan Fredericks, which was not detected by referee Andre Marriner.

The 38-year-old will now miss Millwall's final two games of the season, against Middlesbrough and Aston Villa, and one match of the playoffs if the Lions finish in the top six of the Championship.

Millwall, who are currently sixth in the Championship, have accepted the charge against Cahill.

The FA also reviewed an alleged elbow on Cahill from Fulham's Aleksandar Mitrovic, but decided to take no action against the Serb.
