Leeds United have confirmed that defender Giuseppe Bellusci will miss tomorrow night’s clash against Fulham at Elland Road due to suspension.
The 26-year-old Italian defender is set to serve a two-match ban after collecting ten yellow cards this season.
Bellusci picked up his 10th yellow card in Saturday’s 1-0 loss against Watford in the fifth round of the FA Cup at Vicarage Road.
Steve Evans’ side succumbed to a 1-0 defeat against the Hornets after Scott Wootton scored an own goal to ensure Quique Sanchez Flores’ side reached the quarter-final of the FA Cup for the first time since 2007.
Bellusci has been an important member of Evans’ squad this season and has managed 23 appearances for the Elland Road outfit, who turned down approaches from Italy for him in the winter transfer window.
