ORIENT winger JJ Melligan will be suspended for three matches following his sending off in Tuesday's 4-0 defeat at Norwich City.

The 27-year-old Irishman was dismissed for serious foul play after contesting a 50/50 challenge with the Canaries' Adam Drury and the O's have opted not to appeal against the decision.

He will now miss Saturday's trip to Wycombe Wanderers, and next week's home matches against Brighton & Hove Albion and Colchester United.
