England U21 duo face further UEFA sanctions

Tom Ince and Steven Caulker could see their UEFA bans increased at an appeal hearing on Friday, reports SkySports. The England U21 duo were handed suspensions for incidents that happened at the end of the side's play-off game against Serbia in October.

Ince was banned for one match while Caulker was suspended for two following the altercation, which led to host country Serbia being punished for racist abuse and violent behaviour.

The FA appealed on behalf of the Blackpool winger and Tottenham defender but UEFA has planned a counter-appeal requesting for punishments handed out to both England and Serbia to be increased.
