MK Dons striker Izale McLeod has been hit with a five-match FA ban after picking up his third red card of the season.
The 20-goal striker was dismissed for violent conduct in Saturday's 1-0 defeat at Hartlepool.
Earlier in the season the 22-year-old marksman was also dismissed in back-to-back League Two appearances.
McLeod - who has been defended by Dons boss Martin Allen - will now be sidelined until February 20.
"Izale was using his arms but it was never a straight red. It was two players going for a 50-50 ball," Allen said after the incident.
