Drogba facing six-game ban
Chelsea, 18:22, June 17, 2009 ,
Chelsea striker Didier Drogba has been hit with a six-game European ban following his antics after the Barcelona defeat.
Drogba was involved in a confrontation with referee Tom Henning Ovrebo after Chelsea crashed out of the Champions League semi-final and UEFA have now taken action.
Drogba has been hit with a six-game ban, the last two of which are suspended for two years, while team-mate Jose Bosingwa has been hit with a four-game ban with the last game being suspended, also for two years.
Chelsea have been hit with an £85,000 fine and both the club and players have three days in which to launch an appeal.
Part of the UEFA statement read: "Chelsea striker Didier Drogba has been suspended for six UEFA club competition matches - the last two of which are deferred for a probationary period of two years - following incidents at the Champions League semi-final second leg against Barcelona in London on May 6. The decision was taken today by the UEFA control and disciplinary body.
"In addition, Chelsea defender Jose Bosingwa has been suspended for four UEFA club competition matches, the last of which is deferred for a probationary period of two years, for offences at the same match."
