LONDON -- Chelsea defender Branislav Ivanovic will miss Sundays FA Cup semifinal against Tottenham and two key matches in the teams Premier League run-in after his appeal against a charge of violent conduct was dismissed. Ivanovic was charged by the Football Association after video footage emerged of him punching Wigan forward Shaun Maloney in Chelseas 2-1 win at Stamford Bridge on Saturday. "A regulatory commission heard the claim today and Ivanovics three-match suspension will commence with immediate effect," the FA said in a statement. The ban deprives Chelsea of one its best defenders at a vital part of the season, with Ivanovic also missing league games against third-place Arsenal and west London rival Queens Park Rangers, which is fighting to avoid relegation. With five matches remaining, Chelsea is sixth in the standings and in danger of missing out on a top-four finish that secures Champions League football next season. Ashley Cole missed Mondays 1-1 draw at Fulham with an ankle injury and is reported to be a serious doubt for Sunday while another defender, captain John Terry, is playing through pain after cracking two ribs in a recent match. Jose Bosingwa is likely to replace Ivanovic at right back this weekend. wholesale jerseys usa . Morel, 26, appeared in 12 games for the White Sox last season, batting .200.

The franchise unveiled its name, hired Claude Noel as coach and added seven prospects during a busy couple days in Minnesota. Its been a common theme for members of the organization in recent weeks and isnt likely to change any time soon. "I was sitting with (assistant GM Craig Heisinger) after we made our last pick and I turned to him and said, All right, cross that one off the list and lets go on to the next thing," GM Kevin Cheveldayoff said Saturday. "Theres lots of different things that we have to accomplish, but bit by bit well get it all done." Among the immediate plans will be filling out Noels coaching staff and continuing to work through the logistical issues that remain with the relocation to Winnipeg -- not to mention their AHL teams move to St. Johns, N.L. The Jets wont hold a development camp in July but they do plan to participate in a rookie tournament prior to training camp. "Atlanta wasnt having a development camp so really the infrastructure wasnt in place," said Cheveldayoff. "The picks from the draft are one thing, but having your prospects that you already have in your system coming as well (would have been too difficult)." It will likely be some time before any of the players selected at Xcel Energy Center make the jump to the NHL. The Jets selected Barrie Colts forward Mark Scheifele seventh overall on Friday night and added six more prospects on Saturday: Swift Current Broncos forward Adam Lowry (67th overall); defenceman Brennan Serville (No. 7 of the Ontario Jr. As Stouffville Spirit; Tri-City Americans defenceman Zachary Yuen (No. 119); Belleville Bulls forward Austen Brassard (No. 149); goaltender Jason Kasdorf (No. 157), who spent last season with the Portage Terriers of the Manitoba Junior Hockey League; and defenceman Aaron Harstad (No. 187) of the USHLs Green Bay Gamblers. The organization is prepared to be patient and doesntt feel the need to rush any of those players along.dddddddddddd "Theyll be given a chance to show where theyre at," said Cheveldayoff. "The play will dictate what level of development theyre at at this time." Lowry was one of several players taken in this draft with good NHL bloodlines. Hes the son of Dave Lowry, who played more than 1,000 games in the league and is now an assistant coach with the Calgary Flames. The Jets were drawn to that pedigree. "I think that you know what youre going to get from him as far as how hes going to play," said Cheveldayoff. "Our scouts really like his compete level, really like his character. I think that fits in with the mould that we talked about wanting to bring players into this organization." The players selected Saturday got the added bonus of meeting Jets defenceman Dustin Byfuglien, a Minnesota native who spent some time at the teams draft table. "It sounds like theyre pretty happy with what theyve picked so far," said Byfuglien. "I just actually got done talking with a few of them. Everyones excited and I think everyone should be excited right now." He took some time to introduce himself to Noel, who was hired after the team decided not to retain Craig Ramsay in the move from Atlanta. The big defenceman came away with a pretty good impression of his new coach. "Ive got no problem with him yet so far," Byfuglien said with a laugh. The team will now turn its attention towards free agency, but isnt expected to be a major player on July 1. In fact, the most important task will be getting captain Andrew Ladds signature on an extension. Beyond that, the Jets are looking at building patiently. "I think were going to look at all avenues and be as aggressive as is feasible and reasonable," said Cheveldayoff. "Again, this is going to be a process that takes some time. There is not going to be a quick fix thats going to be out there, one guy thats going to put us at the top." ' ' '
