Cassano appeal fails
Antonio Cassano's appeal against his two-match suspension has failed.
The Roma forward was dismissed against Fiorentina last weekend for striking Giorgio Chiellini, but the player felt he was hard done to and lodged an appeal.
Chiellini admitted after the game that he had overreacted, which was the basis of Cassano's appeal, but the Italian FA panel upheld the original ruling.
Cassano will now have to sit out the games with Messina and Lecce
