What happened with Bambo Diaby and how long he'll miss after Sheffield Wednesday post-match scuffle at Coventry City

The Senegal-born defender was shown a red card after Sky Blues defender Liam Kitching was dealt the same fate in the moments after the home side secured a 2-0 win. The incident sparked some pushing and shoving between several players from both sides, though no other individuals were punished.

Referee Oliver Langford saw no option but to fire out the straight red cards to both players after they were spotted scuffling. An initial coming together off the ball appeared to show both players flash hands at one another before a coming together of heads in which both could have been seen as aggressors.

Assuming the red cards are filed as cases of violent conduct, Diaby faces an automatic three-match ban effective in the event no appeal is lodged or upheld. It would mean he will miss out on a return to his old club Preston North End on Friday, as well as the home clash with Hull City on New Year's Day and the FA Cup clash with Cardiff City at Hillsborough on January 6.

Diaby has started every match under manager Danny Röhl and was a standout performer at the back during a disappointing afternoon for the Owls at Coventry.
