The FA has suspended Notts County attacker Alassana Jatta for three matches for aggressive behavior.

The punishment arises from an incident in Friday’s League Two loss to Salford City.

Jatta was charged when the incident was captured on film, despite the fact that officials were unaware of it at the time.

After admitting the charge, he accepted a three-match suspension as punishment.

It means Notts County will be without their joint-top scorer for a critical stretch of games in their promotion campaign.

Martin Paterson’s side is presently fourth in League Two, with five games remaining.
