Perhaps UEFA should suspend PSG's Luiz and reinstate Ibra hints Chelsea boss

David Luiz should be suspended and Zlatan Ibrahimovic's red card should be rescinded according to Jose Mourinho.

The Chelsea manager feels that Paris Saint-Germain striker Ibrahimovic was hardly done by when he was sent off in the 31st minute of the Champions League Round of 16 second leg at Stamford Bridge on Wednesday night.

The Swede received his marching order for a tackle on Oscar in PSG's eventually successful night which saw them qualify for the quarter-finals on away goals after a 3-3 aggregate following the 2-2 draw in west London.

After the incident, Luiz could have also been sent off for an apparent elbow on Diego Costa which Mourinho was unsure about in his post-match analysis.

"The David elbow I didn't see, but when UEFA gives him the man of the match, I have to believe that no elbow. He played very, very well," he said.

"Maybe they can do what is fair by the disciplinary point of view and suspend David and take the red card from Ibra and let Ibra play the quarter-finals."
