Ivory Coast International Didier Drogba has been given a three-match ban by the FA for throwing a coin back into the crowd during Chelsea’s defeat in the Carling Cup to Burnley at Stamford Bridge last Wednesday.
30-year-old Drogba had already admitted to a charge of violent conduct yesterday, with the former Marseille striker apologising for his behaviour straight after the match. Drogba threw the coin after giving Chelsea the lead against the Clarets and was also booked for a gesture towards the travelling Burnley fans.
Drogba will now start his ban with immediate effect, starting with the Premier League clash against Newcastle United at Stamford Bridge on Saturday.
