Collingwood small forward Alex Fasolo's push for a senior recall has suffered a blow after he was suspended for one match by the VFL Tribunal on Tuesday night, a penalty that effectively rules him out of the Magpies' next two games.

An AFL Victoria spokesman told AFL.com.au on Tuesday night that Fasolo would have to serve his suspension in round six of the VFL season, which will not be played until next weekend because of the VFL's representative match against the WAFL this Saturday.

This means Fasolo will not be available for Collingwood until its round nine clash with the Sydney Swans.

Fasolo pleaded guilty to rough conduct on Tuesday night after being charged following a video review of a second-quarter incident in the Magpies' VFL clash against Williamstown last Sunday.

But Collingwood submitted at the VFL Tribunal that Fasolo should be given a reprimand due to his clean record over 60 games at AFL and state league level.

Fasolo, 20, was dropped after Collingwood's round five loss to Essendon, but responded strongly last Sunday, kicking two goals and winning 24 possessions.
