I am not totally clear on this either, but my understanding is that he received nothing for the stamp on Song, that was apparently seen but not called. However the nine games that the media was reporting was actually two separate potential bans added together. So he we still receive 3 games, as he gets one for his 2 yellow cards against Arsenal and 2 additional ones since this is his 3rd red card of the season.
The stamp would have added 3 games for the incident itself plus an additional 3 due to him having 3 other red cards this season, totalling 6.
