Chelsea's Jackson given two-game ban for red card

Chelsea striker Nicolas Jackson has been given a two-match ban for his red card in Friday's 3-1 Club World Cup defeat by Flamengo.

Jackson was dismissed just four minutes after coming on as a late substitute for a studs-up challenge on Flamengo defender Lucas Ayrton.

The Senegal forward was given an automatic one-match ban that rules him out of tonight's final group game against African side ES Tunis (02:00 BST).

But a Fifa disciplinary committee reviewed the incident and decided to extend the ban as it was deemed serious foul play, meaning Jackson will miss Chelsea's last-16 match should they progress.
