Pasadena (US): Chelsea's Cesc Fabregas has apologised to Liverpool defender Ragnar Klavan for the studs-up challenge, which saw the midfielder sent off in their International Champions Cup clash in Pasadena.

The Spain international slid in and caught the new signing on the top of his foot in the second half of the Blues' 1-0 win and the referee Baldomero Toledo immediately brandished a red card.
"It's a red card. He (Fabregas) came by us in the dressing room and said sorry," Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp told his post-match press conference.
"He came too late in the challenge, of course. Sometimes in life if you are too late you get a red card, especially in football."
Chelsea boss Antonio Conte had no issues with Fabregas' red card. "In this period the fatigue can sometimes bring a bit of going too late. I know Fabregas is a good man and it is not his habit to have this sort of situation."
