Accrington Stanley’s Connor O’Brien Receives Three-Match Ban

Connor O’Brien has made 20 appearances for Accrington Stanley this season. The Accrington Stanley defender will miss his side’s next three games after being charged with misconduct by the Football Association. The 20-year-old admitted the charge, which concerned violent conduct, following Saturday’s 2-0 League Two defeat by Salford City. The incident, which occurred in the 42nd minute, was not observed by match officials but was recorded on camera. O’Brien has accepted the standard punishment and will consequently miss Stanley’s upcoming games against Tranmere Rovers, Carlisle United, and Grimsby Town.
