Uefa has charged the Milan midfielder Gennaro Gattuso with "gross unsporting conduct" after he head-butted the Tottenham Hotspur first team coach Joe Jordan following Tuesday's Champions League match at San Siro.

Uefa's disciplinary panel will consider the case at a hearing on Monday.

Gattuso could have faced an assault charge for butting Jordan, a former Milan player, and if found guilty would face a minimum three-game ban.

But Uefa has decided to charge Gattuso with unsporting conduct, for which guilty players are usually banned for one match.

Gattuso is already ineligible for the return match in London on 9 March after getting a yellow card for a foul.
