Milan have formally launched an appeal to overturn Zlatan Ibrahimovic's three-match suspension.

Ibrahimovic was punished following his red card against Bari for hitting defender Marco Rossi.

It means the Sweden international misses next week's potentially title-deciding Derby della Madonnina.

Milan's lawyer Leandro Cantamessa has asked that the ban be reduced to one match on the basis that his offence wasn't tantamount to violent conduct.
