Extra match
The French international forward was sent off for violent conduct in the first leg of Auxerre's third-round tie with Panathinaikos FC, and will now sit out the first game against PSV after the Control and Disciplinary Body decided the offence was worthy of an extended suspension. He had already sat out Wednesday's night's second leg.
One-match ban
FC Girondins de Bordeaux's Eduardo Costa received a one-match ban after being dismissed in the first leg of his side's third-round tie against Groclin Grodzisk Wielkopolski. The Brazilian midfield player was sent off after 30 minutes for unsporting conduct, but served his suspension in Wednesday's second leg, so will be available for the fourth-round tie against Club Brugge KV.
Vieri suspension
FC Internazionale striker Christian Vieri will have his case heard by the Control and Disciplinary Body next week. The Italian international forward was sent off in Wednesday's second leg against FC Sochaux Montbéliard, and will definitely miss the first leg of his side's fourth-round tie with SL Benfica.
