After reviewing video evidence, UEFA have decided to give Alan Shearer a two match European ban after he clashed with Inter's Fabio Cannavaro on Wednesday night. Shearer appeared to elbow Fabio Cannavaro when he was waiting for Solano to deliver a free-kick into the box.

The referee called both players over at the time and gave them a word of warning.

However, UEFA investigated the clash and decided it was worth giving Shearer a ban.

The Newcastle skipper will now miss the upcoming tie in Barcelona on December 10 and the game against Bayer Leverkusen in Germany on Febriary 18.
