Liverpool defender Martin Skrtel will serve a three-match suspension following an incident during Sunday's meeting with Manchester United.

A statement published by the Football Association today read: "Liverpool's Martin Skrtel will serve a three-match suspension with immediate effect after a charge of violent conduct against him was found proven.

"The defender had denied the charge which related to an on-field incident involving Manchester United's David de Gea in the 95th minute of Sunday's game which was not seen by the match officials but caught on video.

"However, an Independent Regulatory Commission hearing today found the charge proven."
