Derby County have admitted they are "disappointed" by the Football Association's decision to ban striker Craig Fagan for four matches following a stamp on Liverpool's Alvaro Arbeloa.

Although Fagan does have the right to appeal against the additional one-game suspension, the three-match sanction cannot now be contested.

County, meanwhile, seem to have accepted the latest ruling.

A statement on the club's official website, read: "Obviously we are disappointed by the FA decision but we will abide by the ruling."
