Preston North End striker Milutin Osmajic has been banned for eight games by the Football Association for biting Blackburn's Owen Beck.

The 25-year-old Montenegro international, who admitted the charge of violent conduct, has also been fined £15,000.

The incident followed Beck's sending off in the closing stages of September's goalless Lancashire derby for kicking out at Preston's Duane Holmes.

Osmajic will now be unavailable for selection until Preston's home Championship game against Derby on Saturday, 23 November.

The FA said they will publish written reasons for the suspension "in due course", with Preston adding that they will make no further statement until then.

Prior to Osmajic being handed the ban, Preston director Peter Risdale told Talksport that the forward "had accepted" the charge and would also face an internal disciplinary process.

"We've already indicated to the player what we're doing," said Ridsdale.

"I want to keep that obviously in-house but you can be assured that that's not something that we condone as a football club and we've taken appropriate action."

Osmajic, who joined the Lilywhites from Cadiz in September 2023, has scored five goals in 11 games this season, including two in Tuesday's 3-0 win over Watford.

 

If anyone saw it live, it comes as no surprise. Officials even refused to look at Beck's back straight after it happened after he clearly tells them he's been bitten.
