| Wenger Disappointed |
"The
UEFA Appeals Body has rejected the appeal lodged by Arsenal FC and Arsène
Wenger against the two-match suspension handed to the manager in the wake of
the English club's UEFA Champions League play-off first leg against Udinese
Calcio on 16 August.
"Wenger
will now be suspended from carrying out his duties at Arsenal's next two UEFA
competition matches – the UEFA Champions League group stage games against
Borussia Dortmund and Olympiacos FC on 13 and 28 September – in accordance with
the decision taken by the UEFA Control and Disciplinary Body on 22 August.
"The
manager was awarded this suspension for not abiding by an earlier decision of
the Control and Disciplinary Body during the Udinese home game – in which
Wenger was serving a one-match ban imposed following Arsenal's final UEFA
Champions League game of last season.
"The
Control and Disciplinary Body also fined Arsenal €10,000 for improper conduct
by their officials during the match against the Italian team in north
London."
