Shelvey handed four-game ban for violent conduct

London - Swansea City midfielder Jonjo Shelvey has
accepted a charge of violent conduct and been
banned for four matches following an incident in the
Premier League match against Liverpool, the club
said on Wednesday.
"Swansea City has reluctantly accepted the charge
issued by The Football Association against Jonjo
Shelvey for violent conduct following an incident in
Monday night's Premier League defeat at Liverpool,"
the club said in a statement.
"While the club supports Shelvey's statement that
the incident was unintentional, it does not believe
the outcome of an appeal would prove positive for
the club or player."

The charge came after the FA examined footage
from the match in which Shelvey, a former Liverpool
player, caught opponent Emre Can with a flailing
arm.
The incident was unseen by referee Andre Marriner.
Shelvey had said on Twitter that he did not
intentionally elbow the Liverpool player in the 4-1
defeat at Anfield and he was defended by his
manager Garry Monk.
Shelvey has been handed the customary three-
match ban for violent conduct and an additional
match after receiving a red card earlier in the
season.
The ban starts immediately and he will miss the New
Year's Day fixture at Queen's Park Rangers, the FA
Cup third-round game at Tranmere Rovers and
home Premier League matches against West Ham
United and Chelsea.
