Uefa have meted out a two-game ban to Chelsea midfielder Michael Essien for his horror tackle on Liverpool's Dietmar Hamann earlier in the month.

Essien escaped punishment for the challenge in the goalless UEFA Champions League draw at Stamford Bridge on December 6 after German referee Herbert Fandel apparently failed to spot the incident.

However, after reviewing the tackle, European football's governing body decided to charge the Ghana international with gross unsporting conduct and put the matter before their control and disciplinary panel.

With Fifa president Sepp Blatter adding his voice to those calling for punishment it became clear that the former Lyon star would be castigated for the studs-first lunge.

His two-game suspension means he will now sit out both legs of Chelsea's next European clash with the draw for the knockout stages of the Champions League final 16 being held on Friday.

Essien has since issued an apology to Hamann for the tackle which the German described as the worst he had suffered in his career.

Rafael Benitez today spoke for the first time about the sad death of his father Francisco earlier this week and vowed to throw himself into his work to help him get through this difficult time.
Benitez heard of his father's death in the build-up to Thursday's World Club Championship semi-final against Deportivo Saprissa, but was unable to return in time for the funeral.

He now plans to travel to Spain to see his mother and the rest of his family upon Liverpool's return from Japan.

Benitez told Liverpoolfc.tv: "I was in Madrid a couple of times because my father has been ill for the last few months.

"I was talking to my mother, sister and brother when my father died. We tried to go there but in Spain you do not have the time. They couldn't delay the funeral.

"I couldn't go so I decided to stay here. I will go and see my mother next week so for me it is perhaps better to concentrate on working. You can be very upset but if you are working sometimes you can just think about your work. My mother is there though and I will try to be with her as soon as possible.

"The only thing I can do now is try to do my best for my team and think about my father."

Everyone at Liverpoolfc.tv and the club as a whole send their deepest condolences to Rafael, his mother and the entire Benitez family at this extremely sad time.


hope hes doing fine...shame he had to miss the funeral.
for all it's glory..soccer sure is a job with too many sacrifices.
