Burnley boss Vincent Kompany will be in the stand when his side play Albion.

Kompany was today handed a two-match touchline ban for his protests over a decision at Chelsea in the recent 2-2 draw.

One match of the ban must be served immediately – at home to the Seagulls on Saturday - and the other has been suspended until December 31.

Referee Darren England ruled Lorenz Assignon fouled Mykhailo Mudryk. 

The penalty decision at Stamford Bridge led to Burnley going down to ten men and conceding the opening goal and was widely criticised.

But the Football Association have ruled Kompany went too far in his complaints, which also led to him being red-carded.

An FA statement confirmed Kompany had admitted his “language and/or behaviour in the 40th minute was improper and/or abusive and/or insulting towards a match official and/or questioned their integrity.”

He was fined £10,000.

Burnley assistant manager Craig Bellamy stepped in at Chelsea after Kompany had been dismissed and saw his side twice come from behind to earn a point.
