Poles seek Thatcher ban

Wales defender Ben Thatcher could face a two-match ban after Poland forwarded a video to FIFA which they allege shows him stamping on an opponent.

The 29-year-old Manchester City full-back is accused of stamping on Poland defender Kamil Kosowski during the World Cup qualifier at the Millennium Stadium last week, which ended in a 3-2 defeat for the Welsh.

“Having looked at the tape the issue is clear,” Michal Listkiewicz of the Polish Football Federation told BBC Sport Online.

“We have sent a tape to FIFA’s disciplinary committee in Zurich and are now awaiting their verdict.”
