Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca will be absent from the touchline for the club’s upcoming home fixture against Everton, following a one-match suspension issued by the Football Association. 

According to a report by the BBC on Monday, the ban comes after Maresca accumulated three yellow cards this season.

The 45-year-old Italian’s latest booking came after his animated celebration of Pedro Neto’s stoppage-time winner that secured a 2-1 victory over Fulham on Sunday.

That crucial win lifted Chelsea into fifth place—currently the last available Champions League qualification spot—edging ahead of Nottingham Forest based on goal difference.

Forest can go back above them if they avoid defeat against Tottenham later on Monday.

Maresca, whose two previous bookings this season were against Newcastle and Bournemouth, can return for the following game, also at home, against leaders Liverpool on May 4.

Assistant manager and former goalkeeper Willy Caballero could replace him on the touchline for the Everton match at Stamford Bridge on Saturday.
