Slavia Prague defender Ondrej Kudela will miss Euro 2020 after UEFA rejected his appeal against a 10-game ban for racially abusing Rangers midfielder Glen Kamara. “The appeal lodged by Mr Ondrej Kudela has been dismissed,” UEFA said in a statement. Speaking earlier this week, he said: “We still have hope Ondrej Kudela can play. However, his suspension only covers UEFA club competitions, meaning the 25-year-old will be eligible to represent Finland at the Euros. The Rangers first team were joined by boss Steven Gerrard in a social media boycott after the incident unleashed a wave of racial abuse online.
