Gennaro Gattuso could be facing a lengthy European ban after his head-butt on Tottenham assistant manager Joe Jordan took the gloss off Tottenham's fine 1-0 win over AC Milan at the San Siro on Tuesday night.
The former Rangers midfielder also squared up to the Spurs assistant coach and pushed him in the face on the touchline during a frenetic second half.
The 32-year-old combative midfielder picked up a yellow card in the second half, meaning he will miss the second leg of the last-16 tie next month, but he may yet be banned for longer.
"I lost control. There is no excuse for what I did. I take my responsibilities for that," Gattuso said after the match.
"I was nervous. I didn't want to argue with players and I did it with him, but I was wrong to do what I have done."
UEFA yesterday confirmed they were waiting on reports from the referee and their official match delegate before deciding what action, if any, they will take following last night's events at the San Siro.
