Fulham duo Aleksandar Mitrovic and Marco Silva are facing lengthy bans from the FA.

After winger Willian was sent off for a deliberate hand ball that gave away a penalty in an FA Cup quarter final against Manchester United, both lost their composure.

Manager Silva went to confront the referee as he was watching a video replay of the incident, which is prohibited by regulations.

Mitrovic then continued to argue with the referee about the incident, even pushing him at one stage.

Per The Mail, Mitrovic could even be banned for up to nine or ten matches.

Silva's fate is unclear, but a multi-game ban is also a possibility given his actions.
