PFA Young Player of the Year Dele Alli will miss the remainder of the Premier League season after being hit with a three-match ban by the FA.
The Tottenham midfielder, has been suspended for punching West Brom midfielder Claudio Yacob, during Monday’s 1-1 draw at White Hart Lane.
A statement released by the FA declared: “Dele Alli will serve a three-match suspension with immediate effect after he committed an act of violent conduct which was not seen by the match officials but caught on video.”
“The player accepted The FA’s charge but contested that the automatic penalty of a three-match suspension would be ‘clearly excessive’.
“This claim, however, was rejected following an Independent Regulatory Commission hearing today [Thursday 28 April 2016].”

“The Tottenham Hotspur midfielder was involved in a 26th minute incident with West Bromwich Albion’s Claudio Yacob during their game on Monday [25 April 2016].”
Referee Mike Jones missed the incident, but Alli faced retrospective action after being caught on TV.
The incident was referred to a panel of three former referees.
