Former Arsenal striker and current Manchester City hired gun Emmanuel Adebayor has accepted a four-game suspension after being sent off with a red card in Tuesday's FA Cup fifth-round replay loss to Stoke.
He hit Potters defender Ryan Shawcross with a flailing arm and he chose not to appeal the decision. It's normally a three-game suspension but an extra game was added since it was his second violent act of the season.
Adebayor received a three-game suspension in September after a crunching tackle against former Arsenal teammate Robin Van Persie.
City is also without another former Gunner, Patrick Viera, who kicked Stoke defender Glenn Whelan in last week's premier league match with Stoke.
