The incident was not seen by the match officials but caught on video, which prompted the FA to take action.
Premier League leaders Chelsea will also be without top scorer Diego Costa for the trip to Aston Villa on 7 February and the home match against Everton four days later.
The 26-year-old has scored 17 top-flight goals since arriving from Spanish champions Atletico Madrid in a £32m move.
Chelsea striker Diego Costa will miss the next three matches after he was found guilty of stamping on Liverpool's Emre Can.
Costa denied the charge, which has now been upheld by the Football Association.
The Blues will be without the Spain international for Saturday's top-of-the-table Premier League clash against Manchester City.

The world number one, who has beaten Murray on two previous occasions in the Melbourne showpiece, turns on the style in the decisive fifth set to see off Stan Wawrinka.
The Serb wins 7-6 3-6 6-4 4-6 6-0 to knock out the defending champion. Find out what Djokovic has to say in our live coverage from Rod Laver Arena.
Former England Under-21 winger Scott Sinclair says he wants to kick-start his career after leaving Manchester City until the end of the season.
The 25-year-old has made just two Premier League starts for the Blues since arriving from Swansea in August 2012.
"I believe I have my best years ahead of me," he says. "This is a new challenge, a new chapter in my life, and hopefully I can settle in as quickly as possible, have a good start and go from there."
Image source, @AVFCOfficial/TwitterLadies and gentleman, we have a done deal. Scott Sinclair - one of the inspirations for our 'forgotten footballers' debate - has joined Aston Villa on loan until the end of the season.
Three Premier League clubs are chasing the signature of Bolton midfielder Lee Chung-Yong ahead of Monday's transfer deadline, according to the Sun.
The South Korean international is available for as little as £500,000, reports the tabloid, with Hull, Crystal Palace and Stoke all interested.
We're asking for your forgotten footballers today. Keep them coming via the usual channels.
Paul Apenteng: "Freddy Adu is the greatest forgotten man. We all signed him on champ manager 04 and he never lived up to his virtual promise."
Matthew Lowther: "Dmytro Chygrynskiy formally of Barcelona, cost the Catalans €25 million then went back to Shakhtar Donesk into obscurity."
Ross Green: "Rodrigo Possebon. Man United's next big thing, foul from Pogatetz in League Cup. VANISHED."
On-loan striker Matt Smith says he will be "honoured" to travel with the Bristol City squad for the Johnstone's Paint Trophy final, despite being ineligible.
His emergency loan from Fulham cannot be extended beyond 93 days and will end before the Wembley trip on 22 March.
But Smith has been asked to be involved off the pitch after scoring all City's goals in their 5-3 southern area final aggregate win over Gillingham.
"It's a touch of class from the manager," the 25-year-old told BBC Radio Bristol.
Leicester manager Nigel Pearson says he will do all he can to avoid making any last-minute transfers before Monday's deadline.
The Premier League's bottom club have only managed to sign two players so far in January, with Andrej Kramaric and Mark Schwarzer arriving.
Pearson told BBC Radio Leicester: "If you have to do it, you have to do it. In an ideal world, I don't see why deals are done so late. I will certainly not be getting involved in that myself."
Fifa president Sepp Blatter has fired his opening salvo in his campaign for re-election by saying Australia deserves to host the World Cup.
In his first column in FIFA Weekly magazine since confirming he will be a candidate for May's election, Blatter said: "Australia is the only continent never to have hosted the World Cup finals.
"That is basically an unfortunate omission in sporting history because very few countries boast such a rich sporting culture and long list of champions. We can say with confidence that it would be more than deserved if Australia were to stage the World Cup at some point."
Quelle surprise. Defending champion Stan Wawrinka has taken world number one Novak Djokovic to a fifth set in their Australian Open semi-final.

Image source, Getty ImagesWe told you earlier that Steve Bruce expects to have Nikica Jelavic, Abel Hernandez, Gaston Ramirez, Andrew Robertson and Alex Bruce back for this weekend's match with Newcastle, and now we can get some quotes from the man himself.
"It looks like we might have some back," said Bruce. "We've been away for four or five days and managed to get some training into Jelavic, Hernandez and Robertson. You can add Ramirez to that list too.
"It's not ideal and we'd like another week for all of them if we're being honest, but as long as they come through training today it looks as though they'll be ok."
