FOOTBALL: The international players' union have issued a plea for clemency by Uefa for six Chelsea and Bayern Munich players banned for the Champions League final.
FIFPro say that Uefa will adopt Fifa's policy for Euro 2012 where existing yellow cards are waived after the quarter-finals.
Branislav Ivanovic, Ramires, Raul Meireles, Luiz Gustavo, David Alaba and Holger Badstuber are set to miss out and FIFPro said: "Offences that result in a yellow card do not justify the serious punishment of missing the match of your life."
