Henchoz was sent off in the first half
|
The Football Association has rejected Blackburn defender Stephane Henchoz's claim for wrongful dismissal after his red card against Newcastle on Saturday.
Henchoz will now serve a one-match ban and miss Rovers' Premiership game against Reading this weekend.
Referee Dermot Gallagher dismissed Henchoz for a professional foul.
Gallagher decided Henchoz had denied Magpies striker Obafemi Martins a goalscoring chance when he headed clear but fouled him in the process.
Newcastle, who were leading 2-0 at that stage, won the match 3-1 at Ewood Park.
