Sheffield United have picked up one red card this season in a dramatic 3-3 draw with Blackpool last month. While the Seasiders saw three players sent off in a chaotic end to the clash, Wes Foderingham was also dismissed in the 101st minute at Bramall Lane.
The Blades attempted to appeal the decision by referee David Webb, however the goalkeeper was forced to see out his three-match ban and missed their Championship match-ups with Coventry City, Norwich and West Brom.
