Sissoko's sigh of relief
Tuesday 11 November, 2008

Juventus midfielder Momo Sissoko has avoided disciplinary action for kicking out at Chievo defender Mario Yepes.

The Bianconeri conquered Chievo 2-0 last weekend, but Sissoko was an anxious man as he left Verona.

The Mali international tussled with Colombian ace Yepes just before half-time and aimed a kick off the ball, which was missed by the referee.

The media had suggested that Sissoko could be handed a two-game ban if video evidence was reviewed, which would have ruled him out of the Derby d'Italia against Inter on November 23.

However, it has been confirmed today that Sissoko faces no action and will be free to feature in Thursday's Week 12 encounter with Genoa.
