Osmajic handed eight-game ban for violent conduct, confirms Ansser Sadiq

The 25-year-old Montenegro international has admitted to the charge of violent conduct and has been fined £15,000.

The incident followed Beck's sending off the Championship contest between the two teams.

Speaking after that game Blackburn manager John Eustace told BBC Radio Lancashire: "Owen's got a big bite mark on the back of his neck and it's a shame the referee didn't see that."

"We've already indicated to the player what we're doing," said Preston director Peter Ridsdale.

"I want to keep that obviously in-house but you can be assured that that's not something that we condone as a football club and we've taken appropriate action."
