ORIENT winger JJ Melligan has been handed a three-match ban for his sending off against Norwich on Tuesday.

The 27-year-old Irishman was shown a straight red card for a challenge on Adam Drury in the 53rd minute of the O's' 4-0 defeat at Carrow Road. The ban comes after the club decided not to appeal against the decision.

Melligan will miss this weekend's trip to Wycombe Wanderers and next week's home games against Brighton and Colchester.
