Author: Agencies

LONDON: England’s Football Association (FA) has suspended Bournemouth midfielder Jefferson Lerma for six matches after he was charged with biting an opponent in their 1-0 defeat at Sheffield Wednesday in November. Lerma was accused of biting Wednesday midfielder Josh Windass in the 83rd minute of the Championship match on Nov. 3. The 26-year-old, who denied a charge of violent conduct, was also fined 40,000 pounds ($56,660.00) for the incident. “An independent Regulatory Commission found the breach of FA Rule E3 proven after considering evidence during a hearing,” the FA said in a statement here.
