Ranieri slams Vieira after Arsenal legend breaks De Rossi's cheekbone
What a cheek: De Rossi is forced off[LNB]Roma coach Claudio Ranieri has lashed out at Inter Milan midfielder Patrick Vieira after an elbow by the Frenchman in Sunday's 1-1 draw left Daniele de Rossi with a fractured cheekbone. [LNB]The Giallorossi departed the San Siro with a point, leaving them 13th in Serie A, but with a cloud of uncertainty over their Italy midfielder who is almost certain to miss the Azzurri's friendly against Holland on Saturday. [LNB]'De Rossi will have to undergo an operation,' said Ranieri. 'Vieira always jumps with his elbows open and for that reason in England he was always sent off.'[LNB]Vieira played with Arsenal in the Premier League before moving to Italy in the summer of 2005. [LNB]Ranieri disapproved of the performance of referee Gianluca Rocchi, who did not book Vieira and showed just three yellow cards to Inter players. [LNB]'Inter made too many systematic fouls and if the referee allows them to get away with it, then they continue to make them,' said Ranieri. [LNB]'They made double the fouls we made and got just one more yellow card than we did.'[LNB]Roma host Bari next time out.
