Chelsea striker Diego Costa has been handed a fine and an additional suspension in relation to his conduct in the FA Cup against Everton on March 12.
Costa’s latest suspension, a further one-match ban, will come into play immediately following his current ban and means he will miss Chelsea’s trip to Swansea as well as Saturday’s clash against Aston Villa.
The charge relates to Costa’s angry protests to referee Michael Oliver and refusal to leave the pitch following his red card.
Chelsea’s Diego Costa has been given a one-match suspension, fined £20,000 and warned as to his future conduct,” read an FA statement.
“The forward admitted a charge of improper conduct in relation to his behaviour after he was shown a second yellow card in The FA Cup Sixth Round tie on 12 March 2016 at Goodison Park.
