​Liverpool defender Lovren receives one-match Croatia ban

Liverpool defender Dejan Lovren has received a one game international ban.

The player is under fire because of comments that he made on social media.

He posted a video on Instagram after a game against Spain in November, where he insulted the team and Sergio Ramos.

According to UEFA, Lovren acted in a way that was not compliant with the body's disciplinary rules.

UEFA can punish anyone "whose conduct is insulting or otherwise violates the basic rules of decent conduct".

Lovren will miss his nation's Euro 2020 qualifier against Azerbaijan.
