PSV Eindhoven defender Eric Addo has been suspended for four UEFA club competition matches by UEFA's Control and Disciplinary Body after being charged with committing an act of gross unsporting conduct during Tuesday's UEFA Champions League Group G match against Fenerbahçe SK.

Spitting incident
The Control and Disciplinary Body reviewed video footage of the scoreless draw in Eindhoven, and during a break in play due to an injury around 25 minutes in saw an incident involving Addo and Fenerbahçe forward Semih Şentürk, after which Addo spat in the face of his opponent. The referee, Howard Webb, was focusing on the injured player and was unable to see the incident.

No provocation
Spitting at an opponent has always been considered as an act of assault by the UEFA disciplinary bodies, who did not accept that Addo was provoked by the Fenerbahçe player. The Ghanaian will be suspended for the final three matches of the group stage with the remaining one-game suspension to apply either to the first match in the knockout phase or the player’s next UEFA club competition fixture. An appeal may be lodged within three days of the sending of the reasoned decision.

Deivid suspended
Meanwhile, Fenerbahçe striker Deivid has been suspended for the next Group G fixture against PSV in Istanbul on 7 November after being sent off in the 65th minute in Eindhoven for serious foul play. Fenerbahçe asked for the red card to be rescinded but "overlooked the fact that there was physical contact between the two players and the tackle was committed in a reckless manner". The decision is final.





What a dirty little ****.
