Perry Ng will be suspended for Crewe Alexandra FC’s next six matches following a breach of FA Rule E1 that occurred during an Emirates FA Cup fixture against Cheltenham Town FC on Saturday 28 November 2020.

The defender admitted that an incident at the end of the fixture, which was not seen by the match officials but caught on video, constitutes spitting at an opponent or any other person.

Perry Ng also claimed that the standard penalty of six matches was clearly excessive, but an independent Regulatory Commission ordered for it to be applied with immediate effect during a subsequent hearing.

Ng will be available for Tuesday’s EFL Trophy tie at Hull City (kick off 5.30pm)
