It is expected that on Monday, it will be determined whether Chelsea forward Nicolas Jackson will face any sanctions after a video surfaced online showing him striking Nottingham Forest defender Morato in the face.

Details: During the match, Noni Madueke equalized, but Nottingham Forest, down to ten men, managed to hold Chelsea to a draw. Toward the end of the match, tensions flared, and Jackson, who had been substituted earlier, rushed onto the field and joined a scuffle involving 15-20 players. The video shows him attempting to reach Morato, who had replaced Callum Hudson-Odoi in the second half.

VAR officials reported that they saw the incident but did not deem it serious enough to overturn the decision of referee Graham Kavanagh, who only issued yellow cards to Marc Cucurella and Neco Williams.

Additionally: Chelsea faces a hearing with the Football Association and a £25,000 fine after six of their players received yellow cards, marking the second such occurrence this season. Wesley Fofana also received a warning during the game, meaning he and Cucurella will miss the next match against Liverpool due to yellow card accumulation.
