Lovren hit with UEFA ban for 'p******' post

Dejan Lovren has been given a one-match ban by UEFA for comments made on social media following Croatia's Nations League win over Spain.

Having already criticised Sergio Ramos in the build-up to the game in November, the Liverpool man was filmed in an Instagram video calling the Spain squad "p******", before uploading a picture of him beating Ramos in an aerial duel in a separate post.

The pair had been at odds for some time, with Ramos' tackle in on Mohamed Salah in the Champions League final - which led to a nasty shoulder injury for the Egyptian winger - a stand-out point in the fued between the two.
