Ranieri blasts Inter Milan's Vieira after De Rossi injury

Roma coach Claudio Ranieri blasted Inter Milan midfielder Patrick Vieira for his clash with Daniele de Rossi yesterday.

Italy midfielder De Rossi was left with a fractured cheekbone after last night's bitter 1-1 draw at the San Siro.

Ranieri rapped: “Thanks to [Patrick] Vieira, De Rossi needs surgery. He often jumps with his elbows raised, but in England he would get sent off for that.”
