Leeds United have decided not to appeal the red card shown to Eunan O`Kane at Ipswich Town on Saturday.
O`Kane was shown a straight red card by referee Robert Jones for an altercation with Ipswich defender Jonas Knudsen in the first half at Portman Road.
Leeds coach Thomas Christiansen wanted the club to consider an appeal with TV pictures unclear but video evidence of the incident from behind the goal shows O`Kane putting his head toward Knudsen.

O`Kane will now serve an automatic three-match suspension, missing the games against Millwall, Hull City and Cardiff City.
He joins Samu Saiz on the sidelines. Saiz served the first of a six-match suspension at Ipswich Town on Saturday after being found guilty of spitting at an opponent in the FA Cup tie at Newport County the previous weekend.
