The Serbian international has been one of the Blues’ best players this season, showing himself to be one of the finest defensive midfielders in Europe with a string of superb displays.
His red card against Burnley was highly controversial, as he appeared to be on the end of a horror challenge from Ashley Barnes before being sent off for his reaction against the opponent.
This means the 26-year-old will have to sit out next Sunday’s game at Wembley.
