Milan defender Philippe Mexes will face a four game ban for his actions in Saturday’s defeat to Lazio.
The French defender was dismissed toward the end of the 3-1 defeat for an altercation with Stefano Mauri, but went back for round two after his red card, throttling the Lazio captain from behind.
The former Roma man was eventually dragged away by his teammates, but will now face a four match ban, the League has announced.
Milan defender Philippe Mexes will face a four game ban for his actions in Saturday’s defeat to Lazio.
The French defender was dismissed toward the end of the 3-1 defeat for an altercation with Stefano Mauri, but went back for round two after his red card, throttling the Lazio captain from behind.
The former Roma man was eventually dragged away by his teammates, but will now face a four match ban, the League has announced.
In their official announcement, the Lega Serie A notes that Mexes continued to display violent conduct after being sent off, and as such has been given a four game ban, rather than the customary three.
Panagiotis Kone of Udinese was given a three match ban, one game for his red card in last night’s win over Empoli, and two more for improper conduct, as he placed both hands onto the chest of the match referee.
Francesco Acerbi of Sassuolo will serve a one match suspension after his sending off at the weekend, while Luca Antonelli of Genoa will be banned for one match and fined €1,500 after a fourth yellow card of the season.
The fine was levied on the defender for protesting to the match officials, for which, as club captain, he had already received a warning.
Daniele Baselli of Atalanta, Genoa’s Andrea Bertolacci, Lazio’s Lucas Biglia and Stefan Radu, Danilo D’Ambrosio of Inter, Chievo’s Dario Dainelli, Cagliari’s Luca Rossettini and Albin Ekdal, Antonio Floro Flores of Sassuolo, Kalidou Koulibaly of Napoli, Juventus midfielder Claudio Marchisio and Fiorentina’s David Pizzaro will all face a one match ban after picking up a fourth yellow card.
