The striker was given his marching orders at the Valley on Tuesday night and faces a three-match ban but has come in for criticism for his "unacceptable" challenge

Arsenal loanee Yaya Sanogo should be banned for the rest of the season for his off-the-ball elbow on Antony Kay during Charlton's 0-0 draw with MK Dons, according to Karl Robinson.

Dons boss Robinson claimed Sanogo's challenge in the sixth minute of second-half stoppage-time on Tuesday, which produced a straight red card, could have broken Kay's jaw.

Sanogo faces a three-match ban but, with 10 games remaining in the Championship, Robinson has called for the Gunners loanee to face a lengthier suspension in a crucial relegation battle.

"It was disgusting. He should be banned for the rest of the season," he told reporters. "He's clearly, off the ball, had a go and then a second one.

"Rob Hall too was clotheslined on the far side of the pitch. Some of the tackles were borderline assault. I was expecting to see the police in the tunnel at full-time.

"I know it's about the fight and competing for survival in one of the most difficult leagues in Europe, but there has to be an element of control.

"It's not acceptable. He could have broken his jaw."
 
Charlton boss Jose Riga accepts his 23-year-old striker was "silly" and he will now miss three important fixtures as his side - bottom but one in the league - fight for survival.

He said: "It's not what we were looking for and it's disappointing. [I've] not yet [seen the Sanogo incident], but he did something silly - apologised - so I suppose he did something.

"We don't need this in our situation, certainly not. We are all nervous about the situation. [To not win] against a direct opponent, it's two times more difficult [to survive]."

Sanogo has failed to score for Charlton since a hat-trick against Reading on his debut.
