 to ban Marouane Fellaini Marouane Fellaini (born November 22 1987 in Etterbeek) is a Belgian football player, currently playing for Standard Liège in the Jupiler League.

Belgium''s chief executive Jean-Marie Philips revealed a fax would be sent to FIFA bosses in Zurich today, urging them to ban Fellaini from club football for the next five days after Fellaini took up a long-standing appointment on Monday to have wisdom teeth removed.

 to play against Turkey last weekend, a match the Belgians won, then miss tonight's game with Estonia in Tallin.

Neither team can qualify for next summer's World Cup finals and the match is effectively a dead rubber.

Fellaini has been putting off the wisdom teeth surgery for several weeks.

Philips was adamant the decision would go their way.

But Everton are just as confident of winning the argument, after releasing Fellaini for both group games against Turkey and Estonia, and have argued it is a misunderstanding that is none of their doing.

Speaking from Tallinn, Philips said: "We have received a response from Everton to the fax we sent them, but it makes no difference. We are sticking to our belief that we are in the right on this. FIFA will receive a fax from us in the morning, and the outcome should be that Fellaini will not be allowed to play on Saturday."

Everton are understood to have sought advice from the English FA and are convinced their 21-year old midfielder will be cleared to play against Wolves at Goodison on Saturday.
