"Videos circulated on social media after the game appearing to show McClean flicking a boot towards Ronald when the Swansea winger was lying on the pitch. The Football Association (FA) says McClean, 36, has admitted a charge of violent conduct. "The player's behaviour around the 94th minute wasn't seen by the match officials at the time, but it was caught on video, and the FA alleged that it constitutes violent conduct," an FA statement said."
"Former Republic of Ireland international McClean has made 18 appearances this season, but will now miss Wrexham's upcoming games against Sheffield United, Preston North End and Blackburn Rovers. "Wrexham can confirm James McClean will be suspended for three matches, following an incident in the match against Swansea City," the Red Dragons said on their website. "Though referee Oliver Langford took no action at the time, McClean was charged following review of the match video, for misconduct for a breach of rule E1.1.""
