Uefa's appeal hearing into the bans given to two
English Under-21 players following racial abuse and
violence in October will take place on Friday.
.
Tom Ince and Steven Caulker were suspended for one
and two games respectively for incidents that took
place after a match in Serbia.
.
Ince, Caulker and under-21 manager Stuart Pearce
will attend the hearing at Uefa's headquarters in
Switzerland.
.
Uefa will also appeal the sanctions handed to the
Serbian FA.
.
Caulker, Ince and four players and two coaches from
Serbia were banned after a brawl at the European
Under-21 Championship play-off match in Krusevac,
which England won 1-0 to qualify for this year's
finals in Israel.
.
The scuffles followed alleged racist chants from
Serbian fans towards England players.
.
Uefa's original disciplinary panel also ordered Serbia
to play their next competitive under-21 match
behind closed doors and fined their FA £65,000.
