Arsenal striker Thierry Henry has received a three-match ban by the English Football Association for his outburst at referee Graham Poll.
Henry launched into an angry confrontation with Poll after the official sent off Ray Parlour and awarded Newcastle a controversial late penalty in the Gunners' 3-1 Highbury defeat on December 18th.
Henry will be ruled out of Saturday's FA Cup quarter-final at Newcastle if Arsenal choose not to appeal against the verdict before the weekend. If the club do not appeal, the French striker would also miss Arsenal's Premiership fixtures at Aston Villa on March 17th and at home to West Ham six days later.
The 24-year-old made his comeback from a groin injury in the 1-0 defeat of Derby at Highbury last night - but today's FA disciplinary commission hearing has sidelined him again.
