Souleymane Doukara will serve an eight-match suspension

Souleymane Doukara will serve an eight-match suspension with immediate effect after he was found to have committed an act of violent conduct.

The Leeds United forward was charged following an incident which occurred in the 54th minute of the game against Fulham on 23 February 2016.

The breach of FA Rule E3, which the player denied at an Independent Regulatory Commission hearing on Wednesday [30 March 2016], was considered a non-standard case given the seriousness and both unusual and violent nature of the misconduct.

Mr Doukara was also warned as to his future conduct and fined £5,000.
