Chelsea midfielder Jorginho will miss the second leg of their Champions League knockout stage against Bayern Munich through suspension.
The 28-year-old was walking a tightrope after picking up two yellow cards in the group stages.
But the Italy midfielder landed himself in hot water with the French referee Clement Turpin after a challenge from Bayern's Joshua Kimmich on Mateo Kovacic by the touchline.
The Chelsea players complained that the French winger should have seen a yellow card for the challenge.

But Jorginho squared up to the referee and rightly picked up a caution for dissent, which proved to be in vain as the official pulled out a yellow card for Kimmich anyway.
The central midfielder will now miss the second leg at the Allianz Arena on March 18 - a big blow for Chelsea considering N'Golo Kante is sidelined with injury.
Chelsea face an uphill battle after a quick-fire double from Serge Gnabry gave the Bavarian side a two-goal advantage ahead of the return leg.
