London - Chelsea were left seething after midfielder Nemanja Matic's suspension was cut from three matches to two by the FA on Tuesday, meaning he will miss Sunday's League Cup final against Tottenham Hotspur at Wembley.
Under a headline saying they were appalled, the London club added in a statement: "The Chelsea Football Club board is extremely disappointed and frustrated the regulatory commission has decided not to reduce Matic's suspension to the maximum extent permitted."
The Serbian international received his ban after being sent off for pushing Ashley Barnes to the ground after the Burnley striker's dangerous studs-up challenge in Saturday's 1-1 Premier League draw at Stamford Bridge.
