Wolverhampton Wanderers midfielder Nenad Milijas has admitted that his three-match suspension has left him frustrated.
The Serbian international was handed the ban following the red card he received for a challenge on Arsenal's Mikel Arteta last month.
Wolves appealed the verdict, but the Football Association insisted that referee Stuart Attwell's decision was correct.
"It's the worst time for me because I was back in the team and had played three games, and now I am out again because I am banned," he told the club's official website.
"I felt I was putting in some good performances at a time it was important for the team.
"Now I have missed some big games for the club and maybe I would have been in the first eleven if I had been available"
The 28-year-old still has one match of his ban to serve.
