Parma's Massimo Paci has been handed a huge four-match ban for his horror tackle on Brescia forward Eder.

Paci was shown a straight red card when he hacked down Eder with a very high tackle during Sunday's 2-0 defeat.

The defender has been suspended for four Serie A rounds for the challenge, which saw Eder stretchered off.

Players suspended for Serie A Week 21 are Bega (Brescia), Diamanti (Brescia), Nicolas Burdisso (Roma), Mesbah (Lecce), Donati (Bari) and Lichtsteiner (Lazio).
