The FA will take no disciplinary action over the injuries to Chelsea goalkeepers Petr Cech and Carlo Cudicini in last Saturday's Premiership match at Reading. English football’s ruling body said on its website on Thursday that it had reviewed the circumstances and contacted referee Mike Riley, who confirmed that the match officials saw both incidents at the time.
"There will therefore be no further action," the FA said.
Czech Republic keeper Cech had surgery on a fractured skull after being caught on the head by a sliding Steve Hunt and is likely to be out of football for several months.
The Reading forward has apologised and denied the challenge was deliberate, a view supported by his club and the players' association.
Chelsea had asked the FA to investigate Hunt’s challenge, as well as the time taken to get Cech to hospital. Substitute keeper Cudicini was also carried off unconscious after a late clash with Reading’s Ibrahima Sonko.
