The FA calls for Shabir Khan's three-match ban to be increased

The Football Association has asked an independent commission to consider increasing the three-match ban imposed on Worcester City’s Shabir Khan.

Khan was involved in a ‘body slam’ incident in the Conference North against Stockport County last month, and the FA believes the standard punishment of three matches for violent conduct is not harsh enough in this case.

The FA wants Khan’s ban to be increased because they believe the automatic suspension is ‘clearly insufficient’.

Khan has denied the FA’s claim, and the case will be analysed by an independent commission.

Khan has requested not to attend the hearing in person.
