Chelsea defender Slobodan Rajkovic has been banned from
playing for a year.
The Serbian is on loan with Twente in Holland and has yet to
make a Blues appearance after arriving from OFK Belgrade in
2005.
After being sent off in the Olympic match with Argentina he was
accused of spitting at referee Abdullah Al Hilali and Fifa have
come down hard on the youngster.
The Serbian Football Federation are upset with the severity of
the punishment and plan an appeal.
"If this decision is ratified then Rajkovic's right to
work will be disturbed," said a spokesman.
"He made a mistake but the punishment is too harsh."
Rajkovic, who was previously on loan at PSV Eindhoven, has also
been fined 2,000 Swiss Francs for his late dismissal, one of two
from Serbia in injury time, during the 2-0 defeat.
