Darwin Nunez of Liverpool has been granted a five-game international ban for his role in the chaos that erupted at the end of Uruguay's Copa America semi-final against Colombia last month.

Nunez, who was recorded on film throwing a chair at Colombia supporters, has also been fined £15,000.
Tottenham's Rodrigo Bentancur, who was involved in the incident, has received a four-game international ban and a £12,000 fine, while Mathias Olivera, Ronald Araujo, and Josema Gimenez have all been suspended for three matches.
Uruguayan football administrators defended their players following the incident, claiming they were merely attempting to keep their families safe.
Darwin Nunez climbed into the crowd following Uruguay's defeat.
Uruguay's head coach, Marcelo Bielsa, denied that his players should be sanctioned, saying, "The only thing I can tell you is that the players reacted as any other human being would."
What would you do if you saw your woman, mother, or infant being attacked? You'd wonder if they were going to punish those who defended themselves.
Nunez's ban means he will miss his country's forthcoming World Cup qualifiers against Paraguay, Venezuela, Peru, and Ecuador.
