Raheem Sterling is under investigation by the FA, and a BAN is possible as they examine footage from the chaos during the Tottenham derby

Raheem Sterling could potentially receive a suspension after he seemed to throw an object back into the Tottenham crowd during Chelsea’s 4-1 victory on Monday night.

The Football Association (FA) is investigating footage, released on Chelsea’s TikTok account, showing an object hitting Cole Palmer’s leg after he scored a penalty. In the video, Sterling appears to pick up and toss the item back into the crowd before rejoining his teammates as the match resumes.

Although officials did not notice the incident, it is now under review to determine if any disciplinary action is warranted. This situation draws parallels to previous instances where players, such as Richarlison and Didier Drogba, faced bans for similar actions.

Sterling played a crucial role in Chelsea’s win, contributing to the second goal that broke down Tottenham’s resilient nine-man defense. The match was marred by ill-tempered incidents, leading to the ejections of Cristian Romero and Destiny Udogie, while Nicolas Jackson scored a hat-trick.

Chelsea is set to face Sterling’s former club, Manchester City, in the Premier League on Sunday, but any potential sanctions would likely be decided after the international break.
