Swansea City midfielder Marko Stamenic will serve a three-match suspension after his appeal against a red card was rejected, the club confirmed on Wednesday.

The dismissal, which occurred during Swansea's recent Championship fixture, marked the first time a Swansea player had been sent off since Malick Yalcouye received a red card against Queens Park Rangers in October 2025.

Stamenic's appeal was heard by an independent regulatory commission, which upheld the original decision. The 22-year-old New Zealand international will now be unavailable for selection for the next three league matches.
