Flint sorry for dismissal

The defender was given his marching orders for an altercation with former left-back Greg Cunningham in the dying embers of Tuesday night’s 2-1 defeat at Preston North End.

Flint will now serve a three-match ban which, due to the international break, means the centre-half won’t be eligible to play again until April 2nd.

“In order to learn; we have to make mistakes,” said Flint in an apology on his Instagram page.

“I hold my hands up – I made a mistake and let myself and my team down.”

Flint is joined on the sidelines by Joe Bryan, who begins a two-match suspension for accruing ten bookings in the campaign.
