Last season, the FIGC did not punish the Rossoblu for racially abusing Moise Kean as their fans' monkey chants had ‘an objectively limited relevance’.

It also took the federation more than a month to reach a verdict.

Elsewhere, Sampdoria midfielder Ronaldo Vieira has been given a one-match ban for his red card against Sassuolo.
