Albrighton accepts FA ban for the rest of the season

The Leicester City player accepted an FA misconduct charge after he was red-carded as 'The Foxes' were thrashed 5-0 by Crystal Palace on Saturday.

Following the sanction, Albrighton launched into a furious outburst at the referee and was subsequently issued with a retrospective two-match ban.

It means that the winger will not feature in either of Leicester's two remaining fixtures in the Premier League this season against Arsenal and Spurs.

Albrighton was also slapped with a £25,000 fine for the charge 'relating to his behaviour towards the referee.'
