Lincoln have suspended forward Chris Maguire indefinitely following an alleged breach of the Football Association’s betting rules.
The 33-year-old is alleged to have placed 52 bets on football matches between March 2017 and February this year.
He has been given until Tuesday, August 30 to respond to the misconduct charge.
The period of Maguire’s alleged offending includes time spent at former clubs Oxford, Bury and Sunderland.
