London, Dec. 17 (ANI): Croatia defender Josip Simunic will miss the 2014 World Cup after being given a 10-match ban by Fifa for "discriminatory behaviour."
Simunic, who was fined 20,000 pounds, led Croatia fans in a chant with pro-Nazi connotations following their 2-0 World Cup play-off win over Iceland.
Fifa said that the salute was discriminatory and offended the dignity of a group of persons, the BBC reports.
However, Simunic has denied any political intent. (ANI)
