Chelsea star Fernando Torres will not face FA action over Tottenham clash face scratch
CHELSEA striker Fernando Torres will not face retrospective punishment
from the FA for appearing to scratch the face of Tottenham defender Jan
Vertonghen.
The striker was captured on television
scratching the face of Spurs' Belgian defender, leaving visible marks,
leading the Football Association to review the incident.
"One of
the match officials saw the coming together of the two players, albeit
not in its entirety," the FA said on its website on Tuesday.
"In
these particular circumstances, in line with The FA's policy on when
retrospective action may be taken, reviewed this summer by the game's
stakeholders, no action may be taken."Torres will miss Chelsea's game at Norwich City on Sunday.
