Arsenal keeper Szczesny to avoid extra UEFA ban

Arsenal goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny is set to avoid extra action from UEFA.

TheDaily Mail says Szczesny is set to escape any UEFA action following his rude gesture after his controversial red-card on Wednesday.

Szczesny was shown a straight red card for bringing down Arjen Robben in the box after 35 minutes, a pivotal moment in the first leg match. But it is understood Italian referee Nicola Rizzoli did not include the gesture in his report, meaning Szczesny is likely to avoid any additional ban.
