Newcastle striker Papiss Cisse will be banned for three matches after accepting a Football Association charge of violent conduct for elbowing Everton's Seamus Coleman in the English Premier League.

The 29-year-old Senegal international swung his elbow at Coleman during Newcastle's 3-2 home win on Sunday. Referee Craig Pawson missed the incident but Cisse was charged retrospectively.

Cisse, who has scored five times in his last six matches, will miss Thursday's home match against Burnley, Saturday's FA Cup third-round trip to Leicester City and Chelsea's visit on January 10.
