Taylor not picked to referee as Premier League investigates abuse

:Anthony Taylor, who was subjected to abuse on social media after issuing a Premier League record of 14 yellow cards in Chelsea's 1-0 win away at Bournemouth on Saturday, will not referee a Premier League match this weekend.

Taylor will act as the fourth official on two occasions this weekend, with the Premier League investigating the online abuse, the referees' body, PGMOL, told Reuters.

He will be on duty when Southampton host Ipswich on Saturday and Brighton & Hove Albion welcome Nottingham Forest on Sunday.

The PGMOL, which oversees officiating in English football, clarified that no referee officiates every matchweek, as they rotate between refereeing, serving as fourth officials and handling video assistant referee duties.
