Chelsea to be fined for press conference no-show?

Chelsea run the risk of being punished for a failure to speak to the media following Saturday's 1-0 defeat against Stoke City, according to a report.

Under Premier League rules teams are expected to put a staff member up for interview after a match, which the Blues failed to do so.

It is suggested by Sky Sports News that league officials will now write to Chelsea and ask for their observations, before delivering a verdict over whether the offence is worthy of a fine.

Should the top-flight strugglers be found guilty, it will further anger boss Jose Mourinho who has faced one stadium ban already this season and risks further punishment due to previous offences.
