Defender Babayaro has been banned for two games
|
Newcastle defender Celestine Babayaro has lost an appeal against his red card at Aston Villa.
The 27-year-old Nigerian will now be banned for two matches, the FA Cup encounter with Southampton and the Premiership match against Charlton.
Babayaro was dismissed for a professional foul on Milan Baros.
"The extra match is because of the fact Babayaro admitted a charge of violent conduct in November last year," said an FA statement.
"That counts as a previous sending-off under the disciplinary totting-up process."
Babayaro was dismissed in the second half of Saturday's Premiership match but Newcastle still managed to hold on for a 2-1 victory.
