Chelsea will appeal against the red card shown to goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois during Saturday’s 2-2 draw with Swansea at Stamford Bridge.<\/p>\n
The 23-year-old Belgium international was sent off on 52 minutes for denying Bafetimbi Gomis a clear goalscoring opportunity, with the Swans striker equalising from the penalty spot.<\/p>\n
Blues boss Jose Mourinho refused to discuss the decision after the match.<\/p>\n
Chelsea’s appeal will be heard by the Football Association on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
