    UEFA have given Craig Bellamy a three-game ban, so that he misses both matches against Leverkusen and the home game with Barcelona.

    Given that this is is second red-card offence in the Champions League (albeit that the ref didn't spot the one against Kiev) I suppose we should be glad it isn't for longer.

    If we can take four points from Leverkusen and beat Barcelona at home, the final game in Milan will be the big one, just like in Rotterdam for the first stage.

    In fact, the position is slightly better than I thought.

    The most recent game against Barca is included in the ban (although it predates it being imposed) so Craig will be available for the last two matches (Barca (h) & Inter (a)).
