Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has been handed a two-match touchline ban by UEFA after being found guilty of ignoring rules on communicating with his bench during last week's Champions League clash against Udinese.

Wenger has paid the price for flouting UEFA's guidelines over speaking to assistants while serving a suspension and will now be forced to watch from the stands when the Gunners face Udinese in the decisive second leg of their play-off tie in Italy on Wednesday.
Arsenal have a slender 1-0 lead from the first leg and the absence of their manager is a significant blow to their hopes of making the lucrative group stages of Europe's elite club competition.
