Emmanuel Adebayor has been given an additional one-match ban by The Football Association (FA).

Adebayor was slapped with a three-match suspension after being sent off during the Carling Cup final against Chelsea on 25th February.

Adebayor had refused to accept the charge of reacting aggressively and failing to leave the field of play immediately, and had requested a personal hearing.

The hearing took place on Friday and the FA Disciplinary Commission gave an extra suspension and also fined him £7,500.

A statement on The FA’s website read: “In sentencing, the Commission stated that it had taken into account Adebayor’s playing record and the mitigation offered.

“Adebayor is currently serving a three-match suspension following his sending off during the match, this additional suspension will come into effect after those three games have been completed.”

The FA has also confirmed that Arsenal have admitted a charge of failing to control their players and/or officials, also relating to the Carling Cup final.
