Chelsea striker Diego Costa has been
banned for three matches for stamping on Liverpool's Emre Can.
The 26-year-old will miss Saturday's
Premier League clash with Manchester City at Stamford Bridge as well as games
against Aston Villa and Everton.
The Football Association charge, which
Costa denied, related to an incident in the 12th minute of Tuesday's League Cup semi-final second leg in London.
Blues boss Jose Mourinho said, the incident was "absolutely accidental"
The incident, which occurred in front
of the dugouts but was missed by the match officials, was subsequently reviewed
on video by referee Michael Oliver.
Chelsea cannot
appeal against the decision reached by the independent commission hearing.
