The 30-year-old was sent off in the 84th minute of Town’s 4-1 home defeat to Wycombe earlier this month.

Fleetwood striker Paddy Madden has been banned for two matches and fined GBP 2,500 for abusing an official during his side’s League One play-off semi-final first-leg defeat to Wycombe.

The 30-year-old was sent off in the 84th minute of Town’s 4-1 home defeat to Wycombe earlier this month and has been punished for his “improper, abusive and insulting” language and behaviour.

A spokesperson for the Football Association said: “Paddy Madden has been suspended for two matches and fined GBP 2,500 by an independent regulatory commission after admitting a breach of FA Rule E3.

“The Fleetwood Town FC player’s language and behaviour after being dismissed in the first leg of the EFL League One play-off semi-final against Wycombe Wanderers FC on 3 July 2020 was improper, abusive and insulting.”
