Fiorentina are lodging an appeal against the two-match Serie A ban imposed on defender Nikola Milenkovic.

The ban was announced by the Disciplinary Commission after his straight red card against Torino.

Milenkovic was sent off for what was considered a headbutt on Andrea Belotti, although most in the media acknowledge a yellow card would’ve been sufficient.

Milenkovic will certainly be out against Inter, but could return for the game with Sampdoria if the ban is halved on appeal.
