Leeds manager Jesse Marsch faces an awkward encounter with Chelsea's Thomas Tuchel after saying 'there's a simple rule... I would be disappointed if he was allowed on the bench' - only for his ban to be suspended!

Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel could face a second awkward handshake in two weeks - after his touchline ban was suspended hours after Leeds United boss Jesse Marsch called for him to be sanctioned.

Leeds' American coach Marsch used his press conference on Friday to suggest he would be 'disappointed' if Tuchel was on the touchline at Elland Road this Sunday - seemingly safe in the knowledge that he would not be.

But Tuchel has now been given the green light to manage his Chelsea team, with his one-match ban temporarily suspended until the Football Association provide him with the full written reasons for their decision.
