JOHN Eustace has today had his suspension increased to four matches following a personal hearing with the FA.

The Hornets' midfielder had originally picked up a three match suspension after being sent off against Stoke City on March 15.

But a later report from referee Rob Styles condemned Eustace for failing to leave the field of play in a timely manner.

Eustace, having already been unavailable for Saturday's trip to Plymouth Argyle, will now miss further games against Hull City, Coventry City and Barnsley.

As a guideline, such incidents usually lead to a further two match ban.
