Newcastle's Alan Smith has received a two-match ban from the Football Association for his straight red card at Manchester United on Saturday. Nicky Butt will also miss the next two games.

Smith, the England international attacker, was sent off in the final minute of the 6-0 rout of his side at Old Trafford for foul and abusive language.

The former Red Devils player will now miss the FA Cup third-round replay against Stoke on Wednesday and the Premiership clash with Bolton Wanderers.

The Magpies will also be without experienced midfielder Butt for the next two games as he collected his 10th booking of the season against the Potters.
