"The UEFA disciplinary body ruled that Roberto Carlos had committed an act of assault, which usually carries a three-match ban," read a statement on UEFA's website.

"However, it took into account the foul committed on the player, and subsequently imposed a two-match suspension."

UEFA said that the player had until midnight on Thursday to lodge an appeal against the suspension.
