Poll predicts long bans
Former Premier League referee Graham Poll expects UEFA to hand out long suspensions to Chelsea pair Didier Drogba and Michael Ballack following last week's Champions League exit.
Drogba confronted referee Tom Henning Ovrebo after the clash against Barcelona at Stamford Bridge, while Ballack was furious with the official for not awarding a penalty.
UEFA are still gathering evidence ahead of any action being taken against the club or their players.
"I think there will probably be fairly hefty match bans, maybe eight to 10 for Drogba and five or six for Ballack," Poll told Setanta Sports' Football Matters.
"They will probably get halved on appeal - that's kind of the way UEFA do things... they always know there's an appeal coming so they go heavy and then reduce it down.
"I think they'll probably look for Drogba to have six matches because then he misses all the group stage games. That seems a good punishment for him but whether he'll be at Chelsea for those games is another matter."
