Fulham's American attacker Clint Dempsey will not face punishment from the FA after fracturing Chelsea defender John Terry's cheekbone during the West London derby on Saturday.
There had been suggestions the Football Association could take retrospective action against Dempsey but referee Martin Atkinson saw the USA international's aerial challenge on Terry and the matter was considered dealt with at the time.
Dempsey's appeared to lead with his arm during the goalless draw at Stamford Bridge on Saturday but Atkinson did not report the incident to the FA.
The England skipper carried on until half-time against Fulham before being replaced by Alex, who was pushed forward as Chelsea chased their first goal in four Premier League games.
