Leicester City defender Patrick Kisnorbo will serve a three-match ban after his appeal against his sending off in the Carling Cup victory at Hereford United was rejected.

The Australian saw red in the dying seconds of the 3-1 win in midweek, after referee Richard Beeby ruled he was guilty of pushing Bulls striker Tim Sills.

Foxes manager Rob Kelly described the incident as "innocuous" and claimed a yellow card would have been a more suitable punishment.

A Football Association disciplinary commission disagreed and backed Beeby's original decision, meaning Kisnorbo will sit out Leicester's games against Colchester, Birmingham and Southampton.
