DBasia.news – Chelsea is in the spotlight regarding the uproar between players in Week 37 of the Premier League against Leicester City some time ago. With this incident there is the potential for the Blues to be penalized with a point deduction.
As is known when the two teams clashed some time ago at Stamford Bridge Chelsea won 2-1. The result avenged the previous 0-1 defeat to the same opponent in the FA Cup final.
Triggered by the gesture of insulting Daniel Amartey, the Leicester midfielder who threw away the Chelsea flag after the FA Cup final, Chelsea and Leicester players made a fuss after the match ended at Stamford Bridge.
The commotion has the potential to result in sanctions for Chelsea. As reported by the Mirror, there is a prospect that Chelsea will get a point deduction for failing to control their players.
Apart from Chelsea, Leicester also have the opportunity to get sanctions because the players and their coaching staff are also involved in the commotion. Meanwhile for Chelsea this is not the only time they have the potential to be penalized for failing to control players.
In July 2016 Chelsea were also reported to have received the same penalty after filing an appeal of a fine of £375,000. It was given after an uproar with Tottenham Hotspur two months earlier.
Since then Chelsea have been charged twice with failing to control their player, but bypassing fines and receiving warnings for the future. “There seems to be an issue within the club,” said the former FA employee.
Chelsea and Leicester have until Tuesday (25/05) local time to respond to the charges. Chelsea will still play a decisive match to win the trophy in the Champions League final against Manchester City.
