Coventry City have been dealt a significant blow after forward Brandon Thomas-Asante was suspended following a Football Association disciplinary ruling, ruling him out of upcoming Championship fixtures.
The decision comes after an incident during a recent league match that was reviewed retrospectively by the FA. Video evidence showed Thomas-Asante involved in an off-the-ball altercation, leading to a charge of violent conduct. The incident was not spotted by match officials at the time, but was later assessed by the governing body.
Following the review, the Coventry striker accepted the charge, and a three-match ban was imposed. The suspension means the Sky Blues will be without one of their most influential attacking players at a crucial stage of the season.
Thomas-Asante has been a key figure in Coventryโs campaign, contributing important goals and energy in the final third. His absence is expected to force a tactical reshuffle for the coaching staff as the club looks to maintain momentum in a highly competitive Championship run-in.
Coventry City have acknowledged the ruling and are expected to support the player through the suspension period, with Thomas-Asante set to return once the ban has been served.
Despite online speculation, there has been no official confirmation of any doping-related offence, and the suspension is understood to be purely disciplinary.
The focus now shifts to how Coventry adapt without their forward, as fans await his return to action in the coming weeks.
