BANNED: Costa has been suspended for an additional game

The Chelsea striker has also been fined £20,000 and warned over his future conduct after admitting a charge of improper conduct.

Costa was sent off for the first time in his Blues career in the FA Cup quarter-final loss at Goodison Park on March 12.

He was given an automatic two-match ban, ruling him out of the draw with West Ham and tomorrow’s Premier League clash with Aston Villa.

Now Costa will also miss the April 9 match at Swansea aswell.

He had no case to answer over allegations that he bit Everton midfielder Gareth Barry or made an inappropriate gesture to the Toffees fans.

An FA statement read: "Following an independent regulatory commission hearing on Thursday (March 31, 2016), Chelsea's Diego Costa has been given a one-match suspension, fined £20,000 and warned as to his future conduct.
