Halsey to make swift Premier League return

Halsey has been at the centre of a red-card storm this week, with Alex Ferguson livid that John Terry’s dismissal at Manchester City last Saturday has been overturned by the FA’s disciplinary panel, leaving the Chelsea captain free to face Manchester United on Sunday.

Ferguson claimed referees’ chief Keith Hackett was personally responsible for the move to overlook the reasons Halsey gave for his decision at Eastlands. “Hackett told Halsey to rescind the red card but he would not do it,” fumed Ferguson. “If it had been a Manchester United player Hackett would not have done this.”
