Paddy Madden has been suspended for two games for abusive language and behaviour during Fleetwood's League One play-off defeat by Wycombe.

Madden was accused of using language or behaviour that was "improper and/or abusive and/or insulting".

The 30-year-old striker was sent off for his reaction to being booked for diving in the 85th minute of the semi-final first leg, which Town lost 4-1.

Madden has also been fined 拢2,500 by an independent regulatory commission.
