The FA have confirmed a one-game suspension for Chelsea winger Pedro Neto following his misconduct after his sending off against Arsenal in the Premier League earlier this month.
The Blues suffered a 2-1 loss to the Gunners on the road recently. Neto received his marching orders in the same game after two yellow cards in a matter of minutes. He was visibly livid by the referee's decision and was spotted abusing in the dugout rather than going inside the tunnel.
Neto recently accepted the charge made by FA and it has now been confirmed that he will be suspended for the league clash against Newcastle United at Stamford Bridge tomorrow.
In his absence, Alejandro Garnacho looks poised to start on the left wing, given Jamie Gittens and Estevao are on the sidelines too. The pair are recovering from hamstring injuries.
Chelsea can temporary move to third in the table on goal difference with a victory over the Magpies on their home turf.
