Inter to appeal Bastoni’s two-match ban

Inter will reportedly launch an appeal to the FIGC over Alessandro Bastoni’s two-match ban, while the Nerazzurri will accept Simone Inzaghi’s suspension.

The FIGC Sporting Judge has punished both Bastoni and Inzaghi following Saturday’s derby.

The defender received a two-match ban because of his ‘repeated insults towards one of the referee’s assistants.’

On the other hand, Inzaghi had targeted the referee inside the dressing room at the end of the match and was also fined €15,000.

According to Tuttomercatoweb, Inter will try to reduce Bastoni’s ban as the defender was not sent off during the match.

The defender would miss the upcoming Serie A fixture against Napoli anyway, having sustained an ankle injury against Roma last night.

The Italy international also revealed on social media what had caused his suspension. Bastoni has claimed he only told one of the referee’s assistants: “You were rubbish.”

It now remains to be seen how long Bastoni will remain out of action following yesterday’s injury against the Giallorossi.
