Following the 2-1 defeat to West Ham on Saturday, Chelsea Football Club will be fined £25,000, as well as being asked to observe three separate disciplinary incidents that occurred during the game, according to the Daily Mail.
Six yellow cards were brandished towards Chelsea players at Upton Park therefore will automatically receive a fine from the Football Association. Nemanja Matic, who was booked, also got sent off meaning there were seven cards in total.
Following the red card to Serbian midfielder Matic, first-team coach Silvino Louro was dismissed from the dug-out before boss Jose Mourinho was also dismissed and spent the second half in the directors box.
Before making a decision as to whether or not furthering Mourinho’s punishment, which would mean adding games to his suspended stadium ban, the FA will await Jon Moss’ match report. The Portuguese boss picked up the punishment because of his comments in the post-match interview after the defeat at Stamford Bridge to Southampton earlier in the month.
The Premier League will also write to the current champions, reminding them that they must speak to the media after the game, after no-one from the Blues camp took an interview. It’s a possible breach of regulations if you do not fulfil the media’s obligations.
