Three matches is NOT enough! Hazard faces big ban as FA charge Chelsea forward with violent conduct
Chelsea playmaker Eden Hazard faces an extended ban after he was charged by the Football Association for kicking out at a Swansea ball boy, although South Wales Police have decided not to take any action over the incident.
Hazard was dismissed in the closing stages of Wednesday's Capital One Cup semi-final second leg at the Liberty Stadium after he tried to kick the ball from underneath the 17-year-old but also appeared to make contact with the youngster.
The Belgium international's red card carries an automatic three-match ban but the FA has deemed the standard punishment "clearly insufficient".
Hazard has until 6pm on 29 January to respond to the charge but the police will not take the matter any further.
"We can confirm there is no longer any police involvement in this matter," said a spokesman.
