Chelsea goalkeeper, Marcus Bettinelli was shown a yellow card during Chelsea’s game against Wolves on Sunday.

Even more bizarre is the fact that the veteran goalkeeper was not involved in the clash at the Molineux.

Bettinelli’s yellow card came as a result of dissent. The 31-year-old was booked for protesting and saying something disrespectful to the referee after Raheem Sterling was issued a yellow card.

The former Fulham goalie has made just one appearance for Chelsea since he arrived at Stamford Bridge in 2021.

Meanwhile, Chelsea head coach Mauricio Pochettino has denied Chelsea have a discipline problem despite racking up the most yellow cards in the Premier League this season.

Chelsea have had 56 yellow cards in the league this season, not including three to members of the coaching staff, the highest number in the Premier League so far this season.

However, Pochettino doesn’t believe the number of yellow cards received by Chelsea this season is representative of a lack of discipline.

“No – it’s representative of the fact that we play for Chelsea, we are a big club and you feel the pressure,” Pochettino said.

“When you are frustrated and lack a bit of experience, it’s [something on] we can improve.

“It’s Palmer’s first season in the Premier League and it is normal. He is playing for Chelsea. Of course, it’s frustrating. But the players care, the players want to win. It’s not about a lack of discipline, it’s about having the ability to read the situation of the game.”
