Adama Diomande banned for three matches after violent conduct charge

Hull City striker Adama Diomande has been given a three-match ban after apparently striking Bristol City's Marlon Pack during Tuesday evening's EFL Cup clash.

The incident, which took place in the closing minutes of the Tigers' 2-1 victory at Ashton Gate, was not spotted at the time by the match officials.

It was announced on Thursday that Diomande would face retrospective action, however, and the 26-year-old has now admitted violent conduct for his part in the coming-together.

Diomande will miss Hull's Premier League games against Watford, Southampton and Sunderland either side of the two-week international break, keeping him out of action for more than a month.
