Chelsea begin life after the international break with a trip to Nottingham Forest on Saturday, but Enzo Maresca will not be on the touchline. Instead, Willy Caballero will occupy Maresca\u2019s place in the dugout.<\/p>\n
The absence follows a late, dramatic win over Liverpool in which Est\u00eav\u00e3o scored a stoppage-time winner to seal a 2\u20131 victory. The celebrations that followed prompted referee Anthony Taylor to book Maresca for running down the touchline to join the crowd. That booking was Maresca\u2019s second of the day and a red card was shown, which led to a one-match touchline ban and a fine.<\/p>\n
The club moved quickly to confirm the suspension and the monetary penalty, leaving Caballero to prepare the side for the Nottingham Forest fixture.<\/p>\n
Maresca did not express regret for his reaction to the decisive goal. \u201cIt was a nice moment,\u201d he said. \u201cLast season, I was banned for one game for the accumulation of yellow cards. Again, the last yellow card was against Fulham away, where we won a game in the last minute.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo I think it\u2019s part of our job, the moment, the passion, the reaction, and I think it\u2019s also nice for everyone, for the fans, for the stadium. It was just a reaction.<\/p>\n
\u201c[The fine] is a lot, but it\u2019s the rule. I think it was a reaction, a nice reaction. I was very happy in that moment. I need to accept the consequences. I\u2019m quite happy to accept the consequences after that goal.\u201d<\/p>\n
The straightforward outcome is that Maresca will serve his one-match touchline suspension while the squad travels to Nottingham Forest, and Caballero will take the lead on the bench for that fixture.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
