Leeds forward Patrick Bamford has been given a two-match ban after a charge of successfully deceiving a match official was proven.
The Football Association announced on Thursday that Bamford would miss two games after clutching his face during a mass altercation between Leeds and Aston Villa players last Sunday.
The first game is Sunday's clash at Ipswich and the second is the first leg of the play-off semi-final.
