Newy 87.8 FM – Perth Glory captain Tom Lawrence will miss his side's Matchweek 4 clash with the Newcastle Jets after accepting a one-game ban.
The Glory skipper was sanctioned by Football Australia over his post-match comments about officials following Perth's 2-1 loss to Macarthur Bulls in Matchweek 1.
Lawrence was handed a one-match suspension and a $1,000 fine after breaching Football Australia's National Code of Conduct and Ethics.
The 32-year-old initially notified Football Australia on Wednesday, November 4 of his intention to appeal the sanctions.
However, the club has confirmed the appeal has now been withdrawn.
That means Lawrence will serve his one-game suspension against the Newcastle Jets on Saturday, November 7.
He will be eligible for selection for Perth's next game against the Central Coast Mariners on Saturday, November 21.
