Serbia facing point penalty over trouble
08.10.09
Group Seven leaders Serbia were warned by FIFA today they could be docked points if there is further crowd trouble in their two remaining World Cup qualifiers.
Serbia have been hit with three fines from FIFA, totalling £26,700, for incidents in matches against France, Austria and Romania.
And any similar problems against Romania on Saturday and Lithuania four days later could have more serious consequences for the side, who are four points ahead of France.
FIFA, in a letter to the Serbian FA, said: "The recurrence of such incidents could lead to more serious sanctions, including the subtraction of points in the current qualifiers."
Meanwhile, Spain said today they expect Fernando Torres to be fit for Saturday's qualifier against Armenia despite the Liverpool striker limping out of training with a minor groin problem.
