Vieri handed two-match ban
AFP, Rome
Inter Milan's Christian Vieri was given a two-match ban by the Italian football league's disciplinary council on Tuesday for hitting Reggina's Ivan Franceschini in the face on the final day of the Serie A season. The 31-year-old initially escaped punishment for the offence but was found guilty after trial by television which showed the veteran striker lashing out with a closed fist. The Italy international will miss Inter's first two league matches next season.
