Posted Tuesday, October 11, 2011 by Dailymail

UEFA will discuss Wayne Rooney's red card against Montenegro during a meeting on Thursday.

The England striker was ordered off after kicking Miodrag Dzudovic during the 2-2 draw in Podgoric on Friday.

Rooney is widely expected to receive a two-match ban but referee Wolfgang Stark believes the Manchester United player's calm reaction to his decision could work in his favour.

Bad boy: Wayne Rooney was sent off for kicking Miodrag Dzudovic

England manager Fabio Capello has already said Rooney may be left out of the team in the Euro 2012 build up.

In the Premier League, the punishment for violent conduct is an automatic three-match ban.

But Uefa's policy is to suspend the player for one game, with a panel deciding on a case-by-case basis what, if any, additional punishment there should be.

A spokesman for Uefa said: 'There are lots of possible sanctions going from a warning, to a big fine and three-game ban.
