Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel will not be allowed on the touchline for Saturday's Premier League match against Leicester City after the FA rejected his appeal against a ban.
Tuchel was given a red card for his part in a bad-tempered end to Chelsea ’s 2-2 draw against Tottenham on August 14 following a feisty encounter with Antonio Conte. The FA later decided to fine Tuchel £35,000 and give him a suspended one-game touchline ban after he was deemed to be the instigator of the fracas after the final whistle.
After the match, Tuchel also criticised referee Anthony Taylor, suggesting that "maybe it would be better" if Taylor never refereed his side again. Those claims are separate to the touchline ban decision.
