The games Joao Felix will miss after Chelsea star sent off in Fulham Premier League clash

Joao Felix's start to life at Chelsea did not go as everyone associated would have hoped for. The 23-year-old was sent off by referee David Coote in the 58th minute after a dangerous challenge on Kenny Tete.

Felix's dismissal came at the worst possible time for Chelsea after Denis Zakaria was forced off injured moments earlier. Fulham went on to win the game courtesy of Carlos Vinicius's header past Kepa Arrizabalaga to pile more pressure onto Graham Potter.

Speaking after the defeat, Potter defended Felix's intentions with the challenge but admitted he understood Coote's decision.

It was a reaction from the side and it was a forward's tackle," Potter said. "There was no malice. I understand the sending off. It is another blow. I thought he was good, you could see his quality in the game, so it is a double disappointment for us."

The defeat compounds Chelsea's misery in 2023. Since the turn of the year, the Blues have played four games and failed to win one, scoring only two goals. They remain in 10th place, 10 points off the top four, with any hopes of bringing Champions League back to Stamford Bridge gradually receding.

Joao Felix's red card means that he will miss Chelsea's next three games... leaving Potter with another selection headache for the remainder of January. Here are the fixtures that the Portugal international will miss:

Crystal Palace (H) - Sunday January 15

Liverpool (A) - Saturday January 21

Fulham (H) - Friday February 3.

Possible penalty overturn: Salisu foul on Ronaldo

Why Cristiano Ronaldo's penalty for Portugal vs. Ghana didn't go to a full VAR review Cristiano Ronaldo just got a touch on the ball ahead of Mohammed Salisu. EPA/Rolex dela Pena Portugal 3-2 Ghana Possible penalty overturn: Salisu foul on Ronaldo What happened: Portugal were awarded a penalty in the 62nd minute when Cristiano Ronaldo was knocked over by Mohammed Salisu. VAR decision: Penalty stands, scored by Ronaldo. VAR review: This only required a quick check by the VAR, United States referee Armando Villarreal. Replays showed that Ronaldo definitely got to the ball first ahead of Salisu before there was contact on the Portugal striker's boot and upper body. Even though this could certainly be considered a soft penalty, we have to look at it in VAR terms; it would not be seen as a clear and obvious error by the match referee, fellow American official Ismail Elfath. Equally, if the referee hadn't given the penalty, it's unlikely the VAR would have advised a ...
