Thomas Tuchel has been handed a suspended one-game touchline ban following his fracas with Antonio Conte in the aftermath of Chelsea’s draw with Tottenham.
The German has also been fined ?35,000 by the Football Association for improper conduct after breaching FA Rule E3, while Conte has been fined ?15,000 after both managers admitted improper conduct in a series of touchline clashes in Sunday’s 2-2 draw at Stamford Bridge.
Tuchel’s touchline ban has been suspended temporarily though, pending the full written reasons for the decision – allowing the Chelsea manager to take his place in the dugout for Sunday’s Premier League clash at Leeds, live on Sky Sports.

Tottenham head coach Antonio Conte says he accepts and respects the FA’s decision to charge both him and Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel after their confrontation at Stamford Bridge.
Tuchel and Conte were involved in a series of altercations throughout the fiery derby, with both managers squaring up before being booked during the game and sent off at full-time by referee Anthony Taylor.
The FA’s separate investigation into Tuchel’s post-match media comments in relation to this fixture remains ongoing.
