Trezeguet banned for qualifier against Ireland

STRIKER David Trezeguet will sit out France’s visit to Dublin for the crucial Group Four qualifier in September.

The Juventus player received a two-match ban yesterday after being sent off against Israel in Tel Aviv for head-butting midfielder Tal Ben Haim.

He will also miss the home clash with the Faroe Islands four days before the game against Ireland in Lansdowne Road.
