The Football Association is reviewing the footage of Chelsea midfielder Eden Hazard's red card for kicking a ballboy at Swansea.

The Belgium international was dismissed by referee Chris Foy after the incident during the closing stages of Wednesday's Capital One Cup semi-final, second leg match at the Liberty Stadium.

The ballboy - 17-year-old Charlie Morgan - refused to hand over the ball after it had gone out for a goal-kick.

Morgan fell to the ground as Hazard attempted to get the ball from him, with the player then trying to kick it from under him but appearing to instead make contact with the youngster.

Hazard escaped criminal action over his conduct after Morgan and his father, Swansea director and hotel owner Martin, decided not to press charges.

The 22-year-old also apologised to the teenager after the match.

Hazard told Chelsea TV: "The boy put his whole body onto the ball and I was just trying to kick the ball and I think I kicked the ball and not the boy. I apologise.

"The ballboy came in the changing room and we had a quick chat and I apologised and the boy apologised as well, and it is over. Sorry."

Joey Barton has weighed into the debate surrounding last night's incident between Eden Hazard and a Swansea ball boy by claiming on Twitter: 'only crime is he hasn't kicked him hard enough'.

Since we all know, Chelsea team is not very popular with FA, I expect much longer ban that 3 games by them.

People are already comparing it to Cantone kicking the fan. He got 8 months, I believe.

Well, anything can happen here.

One reporter just saying that Hazard called the "boy" names and kicked him in the chest and what not. LOL

Some idiots will soon come out claiming to be in favour of "ball boy rights" and Hazard should be given a long ban and sacked by Chelsea. Yawn.

[Bir_CFC 3,455]

He'll serve out the 3 game suspension and that's it. I don't think he'll get any more added punishment cause there is no intent on his part.

That would be stuipid.

Either Hazard should have his red card revoked or he should get a long ban. Why? Because if he indeed did nothing wrong, the red card is incorrect to give.

I can understand the red card being given because the ball boy dived, and the ref obviousley gave it to prevent the stadium to go nuts, but after hand when the situation is reviewed and they come to the conclusion that he didnt hit the boy and whatnot, why would he still have the red card? It just doesnt make sense.

It just doesnt make sense.

When it comes to the FA - it never does mate...

Obviously if all logic & reason were to prevail, the card would be rescinded. However, I think we all just have to hope that the club will actually defend him in the media to minimise any suspension.

Isn't that a standard ban triggered by the card? Or is it the real ban, and we hear nothing more about it?
