Blackpool forward Ashley Fletcher has been given a three-game ban for misconduct following their 2-2 League One draw against Wycombe Wanderers.

The 28-year-old admitted that his behaviour in the 32nd minute of the match constituted violent conduct.

His ban means he will now miss the Seasiders' games against Exeter City, Sheffield Wednesday and Charlton Athletic.

The club have won three games in all competitions so far this season and appointed Steve Bruce as their new boss earlier in September.
