Matteo Politano and Marco Benassi have received two-match bans, while Roma miss both Steven Nzonzi and Bryan Cristante against Milan.

The Disciplinary Commission announced that Inter forward Politano would be penalised for insulting the referee, which earned him a straight red card in the 1-0 defeat to Torino.

Fiorentina midfielder Benassi blocked the ball on the line with his arm, giving away a penalty, and had already been on a yellow card anyway, so that bumped his suspension up to two rounds.
