Norwich City have decided not to appeal against Kenny McLean's red card from Sunday's manic 3-3 draw with Middlesbrough.

The Canaries' captain was shown a straight red card for serious foul play after scything down Hayden Hackney in the 87th minute as they pushed for a winner to complete an incredible second-half comeback at Carrow Road.


That dismissal saw City settle for a point, and Johannes Hoff Thorup confirmed post-match that he would review the footage before considering whether there were substantial grounds for an appeal.

After concluding that process, City have elected against forming an appeal to the FA about referee James Bell's decision with the deadline of 1pm on Monday having passed.

McLean will now serve a three-game ban, starting against Cardiff on Saturday. It will sideline him for upcoming matches away to Sheffield Wednesday and Bristol City at home prior to the November international break.
