Hatzidakis set to return following probe into Robertson elbow incident

Constantine Hatzidakis will return to action on Saturday in the Championship after being cleared over his dramatic clash with Liverpool defender Andy Robertson.

The assistant referee was investigated by the Football Association over an incident during the Reds’ Premier League game with Arsenal earlier this month.
