Nicolas Jackson’s red card from Friday’s 3-1 Club World Cup defeat by Flamengo has resulted in a two-game suspension.
Just four minutes after starting for Flamengo defender Lucas Ayrton, Jackson was dismissed.
The Senegalese international will miss tonight’s final group game against African side ES Tunis (02:00 BST), after receiving an automatic one-game ban.
However, after reviewing the incident and deciding to extend the ban due to serious foul play, Jackson will miss Chelsea’s final-16 game.
To advance to the knockout stages, Enzo Maresca’s side must avoid falling to ES Tunis in Philadelphia.
Jackson is now suspended from both the Premier League and the Club World Cup because it was his second game in four games.
Jackson now has a combined season-high of 10 cards, including eight yellow cards.
