Television pictures showed Naughton stamping on Watford striker Stefano Okaka during Swansea's 2-1 win at Vicarage Road on Saturday.

"The incident was not seen by the match officials but caught on video," an FA statement read.

Naughton had been given until 5 p.m. to respond to the charge, but Swansea told Press Association Sport that they will not appeal against the decision.

The 29-year-old full-back will miss Premier League games against his former club Tottenham and Newcastle, as well as Swansea's FA Cup third round trip to Wolves on Saturday.
