ADEN Flint has been slapped with a four-match ban by the Football Association following his second sending-off of the season against Macclesfield on Saturday.

Flint, who was previously dismissed in the 1-1 draw with Scunthorpe at the County Ground, was handed his marching orders by referee Andy Davies for a tackle on Macc striker Amari Morgan-Smith after 64 minutes of the FA Cup first-round clash. 

The defender will miss the League One matches against Sheffield United, Walsall, Yeovil Town and Brentford.
