Soccer:Samir Nasri and Jeremy Menez have been handed suspensions from the France national team after a disciplinary hearing into their conduct during Euro 2012. Manchester City midfielder Nasri has been banned for three matches after an expletive-laden rant at reporters following France’s quarter-final defeat by Spain, the French Football Federation (FFF) confirmed this afternoon.

Paris St Germain winger Menez, who was not present at today’s hearing, will sit out one game as punishment for confrontations with both Italian referee Nicola Rizzoli and his own keeper Hugo Lloris during the last-eight clash.
