Sol Bamba risks being handed a hefty fine and ban after a moment of madness during Cardiff's draw with Ipswich in the Championship on Saturday.
Bamba exploded following a strong tackle by Ipswich midfielder Jonathan Douglas midway through the second half left him needing treatment, with his reaction seeing him handed his marching orders.
But rather than allowing club physio Lee Southernwood to tend to him, the Cardiff defender pushed him over before he charged at Douglas.
Once near the two dugouts, Bluebirds boss Neil Warnock attempted to calm him down but Bamba pushed the 68-year-old, berated fourth official Charles Breakspear and eventually made his way to the away dressing room at Portman Road.
The violent conduct for which Bamba saw red brings with it a three-match FA ban, though it remains to be seen whether Cardiff will punish the defender further.
