Toronto FC midfielder Amado Guevara was suspended for one game and fined US$250 by the Major League Soccer Disciplinary Committee on Thursday for his conduct in an Aug. 3 game.
Guevara earned a red card in Toronto's 2-0 loss to FC Dallas after hitting Dallas midfielder Pablo Ricchetti in the face in the 78th minute. The fine and one-game suspension are tacked on to an automatic one-game suspension and $250 fine Guevara received as a result of the red card.
The 32-year-old won't be in the Toronto lineup until Aug. 23 as a result of the two-game suspension. Guevara will serve his suspension when Toronto FC plays the Colorado Rapids on Aug. 9 and the New York Red Bulls on Aug. 17. He will then join the Honduras national team for World Cup qualifying on Aug. 20 in Mexico.
Guevara is the captain and all-time caps leader (105) of the Honduran national team. He last played for Honduras club CD Motagua before joining Toronto FC on April 9.
He has three goals in 13 games this season for Toronto.
