FA take no action against Constantine Hatzidakis after Andy Robertson elbow incident
The Football Association is to take no further action against Constantine Hatzidakis after it was alleged he elbowed Liverpool defender Andy Robertson.

The 24-year-old is still under contract at Stamford Bridge but has rejected signing a new deal as his salary demands have not yet been met. Initial reports suggested that Mount could be captured for around £40-£50million this summer. But Sky Sports News reporter Melissa Reddy has claimed that Chelsea owner Boehly is now looking for around £70million to let go of his home-grown star.
