HULL CITY’S Adama Diomande is facing a three-match ban after being charged with violent conduct in the win over Bristol City.
The striker appeared to assault Bristol City’s Marlson Pack as they retreated back after a near miss from Tammy Abraham in the dying minutes of Hull’s 2-1 EFL Cup victory.
Eagle-eyed fans caught a glimpse of the incident from the stands whilst officials on the pitch missed the blow.
The incident was reported to the Football Association.
A statement from the FA read: "It is alleged that Diomande's behaviour in or around the 90th minute of the fixture constitutes violent conduct."
Hull have until Friday night to answer the charge.
