Chelsea have appealed against the red card given to John Terry in Saturday's game against Manchester City.

Blues captain Terry was sent off 13 minutes before the end of his side's 3-1 victory for bringing down City striker Jo near the halfway line.

The Football Association has confirmed the defender's sending off was for serious foul play rather than for a professional foul.

An FA regulatory commission will consider the claim on Tuesday.

If Terry's red card is upheld, the England captain would miss the key Premier League game against Manchester United on 21 September.
