That’s what you get when you change from suit to matchday kit in the name of celebration.
Nemanja Matic prompted bucketloads of abuse last Sunday when he “pulled a John Terry” by ditching his suit for the full Chelsea kit after the Blues had beaten Spurs 2-0 in the Capital One Cup final.
The midfielder was suspended for the game after being sent off in Chelsea’s 1-1 draw with Burnley in the League the week before but that didn’t stop him from getting right in the thick of the festivities after the final whistle.
And Jose Mourinho has revealed that Matic actually injured himself during the team’s celebrations.
“Matic got an injury celebrating the cup. It’s not a big injury, but if today he was not suspended, he wouldn’t play,” he said.
“He twisted his ankle. On the pitch. He put on shinpads but he didn’t put the tape on. He will play against Paris. On Saturday, Sunday, he will train.”
And this looks like it could well be the moment that the over-eager Serbian sustained the knock.
Silly goose.
