Gattuso banned for four CL games

by Tony Cuddihy , 21 February 2011

AC Milan's Gennaro Gattuso has been hit with a four-game for his clash with Tottenham assistant Joe Jordan in last week's Champions League tie.


The 33-year-old midfielder was seen to headbutt Jordan after the game finished.

Spurs won the match 1-0, thanks to Peter Crouch's late strike.

A statement from UEFA read: "The control and disciplinary body ruled that Gattuso had assaulted the Tottenham Hotspur assistant coach Joe Jordan after the match.

"Gattuso, who was also cautioned in the 76th minute of the game, is already suspended for the return leg of the UEFA Champions League tie against Tottenham after receiving three yellow cards.

"Consequently, the four-match suspension applies to the next four UEFA club competition matches for which he would be eligible."
