Hull striker Adama Diomande receives three game ban for violent conduct

Hull City striker Adama Diomande has been banned for three games after his club decided not to appeal a violent conduct charge.

The Norweigian striker will now miss Saturday's Premier League game at Watford, as well as subsequent matches against Southampton and Sunderland.

Diomande struck Bristol City midfielder Marlon Pack in the closing stages of Hull's 2-1 EFL Cup win at Ashton Gate on Tuesday.

The incident was missed by the officials but not by the television cameras, and the FA decided to punish Diomande retrospectively.
