Nicolas Jackson of Chelsea has been handed a two-match ban following his direct red card during the Club World Cup against Flamengo. The Senegalese forward was ejected just four minutes after coming on as a substitute for a serious foul on Ayrton Lucas. Initially set for a one-match suspension which would exclude him from the last group match against ES Tunis, FIFA's disciplinary committee deemed the foul serious enough to extend the ban, potentially sidelining him for subsequent knockout rounds. Chelsea must avoid defeat in their final group game to advance.
