Gennaro Gattuso will stay away from White Hart Lane

Gennaro Gattuso has confirmed that he will stay away from AC Milan's Champions' League return meeting with Tottenham for his own safety. Speaking on Italian radio, the Milan midfielder again conceded he was wrong to headbutt Tottenham coach Joe Jordan but said: 'I would like to go to White Hart Lane for the second leg but I have been advised not to. I'm sorry: Gattuso apologised for headbutting Tottenham coach Jordan 'I have been told there will be 47,000 people there just waiting to give me a slap, so I will stay in Milan. 'It was lucky Zlatan Ibrahimovic was not at my side when the confrontation with Jordan happened. If he had been, the fight would still be going on. Weighing in on the act: Bassong (purple bib) tries to get at Gattuso 'When I went towards Jordan at the end of the game, he took off his glasses like he was ready for a challenge. He was screaming the 'f' word at me repeatedly. 'Then (Sebastien) Bassong came up and said "hey, you and me". It went on in the tunnel, where Bassong was trying to belittle me about my height. He was laughing at me.' Gattuso hinted he felt hard done by over UEFA's four-game ban and sarcastically added that 'at least they didn't throw me in jail for a month'.  Blackpool 3 Tottenham 1: DJ Campbell puts sorry Spurs in a spin Gattuso handed four-match ban for headbutting Spurs coach JordanRedknapp for England!
