London - Crystal Palace captain Mile Jedinak will serve a four-game ban after accepting a charge of violent conduct for elbowing West Ham United's Diafra Sakho, the Football Association announced on Tuesday.
The Australian midfielder appeared to deliberately elbow Sakho in the face towards the end of Palace's 3-1 win at Upton Park on Saturday in an incident missed by the referee but subsequently reviewed by an FA panel.
Jedinak, 30, will miss Tuesday's Premier League trip to Southampton as well as subsequent fixtures against Queens Park Rangers, Stoke City and Manchester City.
