Diego Costa could find out today whether he faces a three-match ban after his controversial performance against Liverpool FC on Tuesday night.

Chelsea striker Costa was caught on camera stamping on Liverpool defender Emre Can and later Martin Skrtel during the Capital One Cup semi-final second leg at Stamford Bridge.

And the Football Association are ready to fast-track any possible punishment with an independent commission primed to sit on Friday to hear any possible appeal.

The FA governance department reviewed footage of the match this morning and will ask referee Michael Oliver whether he saw the incidents, with the main issue believed to concern Costa’s first stamp on Can.

If Oliver did not, the FA will ask the referee what punishment he would have dished out had he seen what happened.

Meanwhile, Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho has been fined £25,000 by the FA but escaped a touchline ban following a secret hearing yesterday to discuss his claims there was a “campaign” against his side.

Mourinho as found guilty of “improper conduct” for his comments about referees, although the disciplinary commission did not interpret his comments as accusing officials of being biased.
