One-match ban for Scholes

UEFA have confirmed Paul Scholes will serve a one-match ban for his dismissal during Manchester United’s Champions League defeat to AS Rome at the Stadio Olimpico.

Scholes’ situation had been slightly complicated by the fact he was only one booking away from a suspension when yesterday’s game began and had been ruled out of next Tuesday’s Old Trafford return when he was cautioned by referee Herbert Fandel for a foul on Christian Wilhelmson.
