PRESTON striker Milutin Osmajic has been banned for EIGHT MATCHES for biting Blackburn’s Owen Beck.

The incident took place during the 0-0 draw at the end of September.

Footage live on Sky Sports showed Osmajic charing into Beck – nephew to Liverpool legend Ian Rush – before biting him in the back.

Beck was shown red for initially kicking out at American midfielder Duane Holmes – sparking Osmajic’s raging reaction.

And despite Beck pointing towards the bite mark and the subsequent replays, Osmajic was only shown yellow.

The Montenegrin forward escaped an initial ban and played Preston’s next two games – scoring in his most recent match against Watford.

But the FA did launch an investigation into the bite and he was subsequently charged.

Now, the FA have confirmed his eight-man suspension and £15,000 fine.
