Mowatt was a second-half substitute at St Andrew's but was shown a straight red card in the closing moments of stoppage time, following a challenge on Birmingham's Ryan Shotton.

Leeds appealed against the ban but that was deemed unsuccessful by a Football Association Independent Regulatory Commission.

The 21-year-old will miss the games against Reading, Wolves and Hull.
