Western Sydney Wanderers will not contest the four-match suspension handed to Iacopo La Rocca by the Hyundai A-League Match Review Panel.

La Rocca received a direct red card in the 95th minute of the match against Sydney FC on Saturday night for an aggressive elbow to the head of Sydney FC midfielder Terry Antonis.

Wanderers FC coach, Tony Popovic had indicated post-match that he had no issue with La Rocca being sent from the field for his brain snap.

“It was a clear red, a definite send-off,” Popovic conceded.

“I don’t know what he’ll miss but a straight red normally is more than one week.”
