Jonathan Kodjia to miss Aston Villa v Blues despite having ban reduced
Jonathan Kodjia will miss Sunday's Second City Derby after the Football Association confirmed he will serve a one-match ban for his sending off against Fulham on Easter Monday.

Although Villa's appeal of wrongful dismissal was rejected by the FA, it agreed a three-game ban was excessive, so was reduced to one.
That means the 19-goal top scorer will miss the clash with Blues, although his season will be able to resume away to Blackburn Rovers on Saturday, April 29.
Kodjia was dismissed for kicking out at Fulham defender Ryan Fredericks during the first half of Villa's 3-1 defeat at Craven Cottage.
