The Blues head coach will not be in the dugout for the next two games after accumulating yellow cards.

Saturday's FA Cup first round tie against Salford City and next weekend's home league clash with Boston United is expected to see Elliot watch the game from the stand at Brunton Park.

It will be the Carlisle boss's third touchline ban this season.

Elliot has previously served separate one and two-match suspensions, following a red card at Eastleigh and a previous accumulation of bookings.

The United boss's most recent booking came last weekend during the 4-2 win at Altrincham, the Blues boss yellow-carded along with Altrincham boss Neil Gibson by referee Dale Baines.

With Elliot poised to be away from the dugout again it will leave assistant head coach Louis Storey in charge from the technical area for the next two games.

Elliot will then return to the dugout for United's game at Barrow on November 21.
