Birmingham manager Garry Monk has been handed a one-match touchline ban and fined £2,000 by the FA after being sent off in their 1-1 draw with Brentford in midweek.
Monk admitted using abusive and/or insulting words towards a match official in the 65th minute of the game at Griffin Park on Tuesday night and accepted the standard penalty.
The ban takes place with immediate effect, meaning the Blues boss will have to sit in the stands for the visit of Rotherham to St Andrew's on Saturday.
Monk was angered by the red card shown to City midfielder Maikel Kieftenbeld in the Brentford game - with the club due to appeal the decision - with his reaction to the dismissal seeing him also sent off by referee Tim Robinson.
Monk will return to the touchline for the trip to Stoke after the international break on October 20.
