JUAN CALA CHARGE UPHELD

Cardiff City Football Club can confirm that Juan Cala will serve a three-match suspension with immediate effect in relation to his misconduct charge. 

The FA charge, which was upheld following a personal hearing this week, was that his behaviour in or around the tunnel area after the end of the match against Sunderland on 27 April 2014 amounted to improper conduct.

The ban rules Juan out of contention for Sunday’s match against Chelsea and Cardiff City’s first two fixtures of the 2014/15 season. Juan has also been fined following an Independent Regulatory Commission hearing.
