MANCHESTER United striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic will miss the FA Cup quarterfinal at Chelsea after accepting a charge of violent conduct and an immediate three-match ban, England’s Football Association said Tuesday.

    As well as Monday’s FA Cup clash, the 35-year-old Ibrahimovic will also miss the Premier League matches against Middlesbrough and West Bromwich Albion.

    Ibrahimovic and Bournemouth defender Tyrone Mings were charged Monday following two incidents in Saturday’s bad-tempered 1-1 league draw.

    Mings appeared to deliberately stamp on Ibrahimovic’s head as he jumped over him late in the first half at Old Trafford and the Swedish striker seemed to retaliate moments later by elbowing the defender in the head.
