Aleksandar Mitrovic has been handed an eight-game ban after pushing referee Chris Kavanagh in Fulham’s FA Cup quarter-final defeat at Manchester United on March 19.
Mitrovic was set to face a three-match suspension after receiving a straight red card for violent conduct after putting his hands on Kavanagh, who had just sent off Fulham forward Willian and head coach Marco Silva.
The Serbia striker served the first game of his suspension in Saturday’s 2-1 Premier League defeat at Bournemouth.
Fulham boss Silva, who was allowed in the dugout after requesting a personal hearing with the FA, has received a two-match touchline ban.
Fulham have also been fined £40,000 for failing to control their players at Old Trafford.
