FA appeals against Rooney's ban

The Football Association has confirmed it is appealing to Uefa against Wayne Rooney's three-match ban, BBC reported.

The England striker, 26, received the punishment after being sent off for kicking Miodrag Dzudovic during the 2-2 draw with Montenegro last month.

If the ban is upheld the Manchester United player will miss all of England's group matches at Euro 2012.
