Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel is almost certainly set to be in the dugout for his side’s trip to Leeds United on Sunday. That is according to BBC Sport, who report that his red card at the full-time whistle against Tottenham Hotspur yesterday does not trigger an automatic touchline ban.
Tuchel was dismissed by referee Anthony Taylor following a second altercation with Spurs boss Antonio Conte, who had just seen his side net a stoppage time equaliser to deny Chelsea a deserved all three points. The German was angered at the performance of Taylor throughout the 90 minutes, claiming that neither of Spurs’ goals should have stood.
Speaking after the game, he said: “I don’t think just some of the fans think that. I can assure you the whole dressing room of us, every single person, thinks that.
