The Football Association has announced that Chelsea striker, Diego Costa, will serve an additional one-match ban after admitting a charge of improper conduct.
The charge relates to Costa’s behaviour after he was shown a second yellow card in last month’s FA Cup quarter-final defeat to Everton.
Costa is currently serving a two-match suspension for the dismissal, but he will now also miss next weekend’s trip to Swansea City and not be able to play again domestically until the April 16 contest against Manchester City.
The FA said Costa had also been fined £20,000 for his behaviour and “warned as to his future conduct”.
