“[The Chelsea game] was the first fixture I looked out for in the summer and I am gutted that I am going to miss it.
"I was aware that I was on four bookings, I tried my best not to get booked in that game. It was just a stupid foul."
“But I’ll be there, either travelling with the team or in with the fans. I'll make sure I am there to support the guys.”
