But instead of being away from the touchline against Chelsea this weekend, he will be back in his position.

Huerzeler had a conversation with Howard Webb, the chief refereeing officer of the PGMOL.

"I know what the fine will be and I also know that I will be on the sideline against Chelsea," he told reporters.

"I think that's the most positive thing: that I can support my team, I can help my team."

"I also have to learn out of this situation, how fast you can get a red card here in this league. But, of course, the fine we will accept."
