Southend United manager Kieron Dyer and goalkeeping coach Anssi Jaakkola will serve touchline bans after they were sent off following last month's draw with Halifax Town at Roots Hall.

The game finished 2-2 after the visitors scored a 90th-minute leveller while the Shrimpers were temporarily down to 10 men.

Promise Omochere was deemed to have taken too long to leave the field as a substitute, prompting referee Isaac Searle to delay the introduction of his replacement Ben Goodliffe.

The Football Association has handed Dyer a one-match ban, while Jaakkola will serve a six-match ban.

The pair were also fined and the bans come into effect immediately, meaning Dyer will miss Saturday's home game against Aldershot Town.

Southend are third in the National League after 14 games - 10 points behind leaders Boreham Wood - and host Aldershot Town on Saturday.
