Fiorentina appeal Melo ban
17 Apr 2009 - 07:19:17
Fiorentina are to appeal against the five-match suspension handed down to Felipe Melo for his clash with Cagliari's Diego Lopez last weekend.
The two players exchanged blows in the tunnel following La Viola's 2-1 victory over the Sardinians, with Fiorentina feeling that Melo had been provoked and only acted in self-defence.
A statement from the Florence club read: "Having listened to the witnesses and viewed the documents that led to Felipe Melo's five-match ban, Fiorentina have decided to stage an appeal to the CAF.
"We have the utmost conviction that Felipe Melo only replied to a violent provocation from the Cagliari player and acted in self-defence.
"Fiorentina also point out that during the incident our player, Sergio Almiron, was also struck in a violent manner by the same Cagliari man."
