Ferdinand in clear over Torres incident - FA
Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand will not face punishment over an off-the-ball clash with Chelsea striker Fernando Torres, the Football Association said on Tuesday.
Television pictures showed Ferdinand appearing to catch Torres from behind in the latter stages of Chelsea's 2-2 draw at Old Trafford in Sunday's FA Cup quarter-final.
The Spaniard fell to the floor before being helped to his feet by Ferdinand, in an incident that did not appear to be witnessed by match referee Howard Webb.
However, a spokesman from the FA told Britain's Press Association that Ferdinand would not face retrospective action.
