The FA will not take any action against linesman Constantine Hatzidakis after he elbowed Liverpool player Andrew Robertson. The FA announced this after a “thorough review” of all evidence on Thursday. This was also preceded by a conversation between Hatzidakis and Robertson.
The incident on Sunday at half-time in the Premier League game between Liverpool and Arsenal (2-2) caused a stir. Images show Hatzidakis swinging his elbow after an argument with Robertson and hitting the stunned Scot on the chin. The international immediately protested to referee Paul Tierney, who, however, showed Robertson a yellow card.
“It was certainly not my intention to touch Andy when I pulled my arm away from him, and I apologize for that,” said Hatzidakis, adding: “I’m looking forward to playing games again soon.” (here/dpa)
