Millwall attacker Emakhu hit with three-game ban for sending off in Preston North End win

Aidomo Emakhu will serve a three-match suspension for his red card in Millwall’s 3-1 defeat to Preston North End.

The Republic of Ireland U21 international had been booked by referee Darren Bond, after the youngster went down after taking the ball past Liam Lindsay.

But Emakhu was then sent off by Bond after angrily confronting Robbie Brady, who appeared to dig a small kick into the former Shamrock Rovers striker as he got back up off the turf.

Millwall have not appealed the decision and Emakhu will start his ban tomorrow night at Cardiff City. He will also miss the matches at West Bromwich Albion on Saturday and the home fixture against Derby County on October 19.
