Harry Kane will face Arsenal in the north London derby on Saturday after the FA opted against enforcing retrospective punishment on the Tottenham Hotspur striker.
Kane was involved in an altercation with right-back Cesar Azpilicueta during Spurs' 2-0 defeat at Stamford Bridge in the Premier League on Wednesday. It looked as though Kane had pushed his head into Azpilicueta as the two squared up.
However, English football's governing body reviewed the case on Thursday and chose not to suspend Kane.
The altercation between the two was recorded in the match report from referee Andre Marriner, who deemed no further action necessary.
The pair clashed on the touchline after the ball had gone out of play. Kane barged into Luiz, who kicked out at him, eventually prompting Marriner to show a yellow card to each player.
It was a show of frustration and petulance from Tottenham's attacking talisman amid another costly defeat. Spurs have lost their last two matches to all-but wreck their chances of winning the title.
