Premier League: No handshakes before Chelsea-QPR
The Premier League have agreed that no handshakes will take place in the match between Queens Park Rangers and Chelsea on Sunday because of tensions between John Terry and Anton Ferdinand.
Chelsea and former England captain Terry, who declines wrongdoing, has been charged with racially abusing QPR defender Ferdinand in a league game in Oct.
The Premier League said “The Premier League position on the pre-match handshake convention remains consistent. In all normal circumstances it must be observed” in a statement.
“However, after discussions with both Chelsea and Queens Park Rangers about the potential and specific legal context in relation to John Terry and Anton Ferdinand the decision has been taken to suspend the handshake convention for Sunday’s match”.
