Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel has been handed a one-match touchline ban and a fine of £35,000 for his confrontation with Tottenham boss Antonio Conte.
While the fine stands, the ban has been temporarily suspended, with the full written reasons for the decision pending.
This means the Chelsea boss will be able to take his place in the dugout for Sunday's Premier League clash at Elland Road against Leeds United.
The Spurs manager has also been fined £15,000 after both men accepted improper conduct during the highly-charged 2-2 draw.
"An independent regulatory commission has today ordered that Thomas Tuchel be fined £35,000 and banned from the touchline for one match, and Antonio Conte be fined £15,000 after they respectively breached FA Rule E3," read an FA statement.
"Thomas Tuchel and Antonio Conte admitted that their behaviour after the final whistle of the Premier League game between Chelsea FC and Tottenham Hotspur FC on Sunday, August 14 2022 was improper, and both managers requested a paper hearing.
"These sanctions are subject to appeal, and Thomas Tuchel's one-match touchline ban has been suspended temporarily pending the independent regulatory commission's written reasons for its decision that will be made available in due course."
The FA have also stated that the sanctions are subject to appeal.
