Hull FC will be without captain Gareth Ellis for their Tetley’s Challenge Cup fourth-round tie against Salford Red Devils after he was given a two-match ban.
The former England forward submitted an early-guilty plea to making a dangerous shoulder charge during his side’s 7-0 home First Utility Super League defeat by Widnes Vikings on Sunday.
It means the 32-year-old will miss Friday’s league match against Salford at the KC Stadium, as well as the cup tie between the two clubs six days later.
