Bournemouth midfielder Jefferson Lerma has decided not to appeal against his six-match ban for biting Sheffield Wednesday forward Josh Windass.
"I do not have the confidence an appeal would be handled any better," he said.
Colombia international Lerma denied the charge but was found guilty and fined £40,000 by the Football Association on Wednesday.
"I now want to put this behind me and focus on some crucial World Cup qualifying fixtures," he said.
The incident between Lerma and Windass occurred in the 83rd minute of the Cherries' 1-0 defeat at Hillsborough on 3 November last year.
