Leeds United have been dealt a major suspension blow ahead of their upcoming clash with Queens Park Rangers.
The Whites will be looking to return to winning ways after suffering just their second defeat of the season away at Millwall in midweek.
However, that loss has come at a further cost for Leeds ahead of the final match before the international break.
Daniel Farke confirmed Leeds have no fresh injury issues heading into the game but he will be without a key member of his starting XI for the next three matches.
Leeds have already had to deal with suspensions to Junior Firpo and Jayden Bogle this season, with both already having picked up five bookings.
Junior Firpo hit with three-match ban for Leeds
After serving a one-match ban at Bristol City recently, Firpo is now also set to miss the next three games following an incident after full-time at Millwall.
According to the Yorkshire Evening Post, Firpo has been retrospectively banned for an alleged headbutt on Millwall defender Danny McNamara.
The incident was not spotted by the officials at the time which is why the FA have been able to revisit the incident and hand him a suspension.
Firpo is said to have denied the charge but the first of his three-match ban will begin in today’s match against QPR at Elland Road.
The former Barcelona defender will also miss the trip to Swansea City, and home clash against Luton Town after the international break.
