Chelsea goalkeeping coach banned for Benfica clash

Chelsea goalkeeping coach Christophe Lollichon was today handed a one-match ban by UEFA after his sending-off in their quarter-final first leg at Benfica.

The Frenchman will be unable to carry out his duties during tomorrow’s second leg at Stamford Bridge, having been found guilty of “improper conduct” by European football’s governing body.

Lollichon was sent to the stands in the closing minutes of last Tuesday’s 1-0 win at the Estadio da Luz.
