Diego Costa will serve a three-match ban, starting with the title clash versus Man City on Saturday.
The FA have rejected Chelsea’s appeal against the ban, but Costa has not been given an extra game onto his ban due to frivolous appeal – which is often the case.
Diego Costa has been charged for violent conduct, specifically for a stamp on Liverpool’s Emre Can. In the same game, the Spaniard allegedly deliberately stamped on Martin Skrtel also.
The Premier League’s top goalscorer will miss the away trip to Aston Villa and the hosting of Everton, along with Saturday’s huge clash.
Do you think the ban is fair? Let us know in the comments section below.
It is totally unfair 4 him 2 be ban lik dat it ws nt an intensional deed
common Chelsea fan don’t worry abt DAT, let the game keep coming we are on top our world. up blues.
let FA slap him with 38 match ban it show hw clannish they certainly are. Wenger’s shoking of Mourinho earlier this season what happenend? 2 clear penalties overlooked against liverpool League cup second leg what happened. They are clannished as claimed by Jose! It is glaring. I think the three match ban is not enough. Y NOT 38. F***
ii even thought loic remy, Didier and hazard would be banned as well cech and courtois inclusive so man city could have a happy day 2morrow. English FA ”Anti-Chelsea”
This is a campaign against Chelsea as said by mourinho.
