Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger was handed a two-match European ban for failing to abide by the conditions of a previous suspension and will miss Wednesday's Champions League qualifier at Udinese, UEFA said on Monday.

The disciplinary board of UEFA also fined the Arsenal 10,000 euros (Rs 6,56,00) 'for improper conduct by its officials' during last week's playoff round first leg which Arsenal won 1-0. In that game, television pictures showed him sitting in the stands and talking on a mobile phone, apparently passing instructions to the bench.
