Lazio's hopes of a top four finish have been hit by a four-match ban handed to Francelino Matuzalem.
The Brazilian was given the punishment today after TV evidence was used for an altercation during Lazio's 1-0 win over Cesena.
The former Napoli player was caught on camera striking Luis Jimenez in the face in an off-the-ball incident.
Midfielder Matuzalem was thus handed a three-match stop for his actions, but he'll also miss another game as he was booked earlier in the Cesena encounter too.
