Richie Wellens, the head coach of Leyton Orient, has been issued a three-match touchline ban and fined £4,000 by the Football Association after being sent off during a League One match against Huddersfield Town. The incident occurred after the final whistle of the game, which Leyton Orient lost 2-1, with Ryan Ledson scoring the decisive goal in the 15th minute of added time. Wellens confronted match officials and used abusive language, leading to his suspension. As a result, he will miss the last two matches of the season, including an away game against Blackpool and a home match against Burton Albion. Currently, Leyton Orient sits 19th in the League One table, just three points above Exeter City, who are in the relegation zone.
