Rome: Inter Milan's defender Milan Skriniar will miss the following three Serie A games as the Slovakian has been handed a three-match ban don account of his misbehaviour in the league.
Skriniar was shown a second yellow card in stoppage time of Wednesday's 3-3 draw against Sassuolo, shortly after Giangiacomo Magnani's late equalizer. The 25-year-old was irritated and expressed his anger to the referee after being sent off.
The Disciplinary Commission pointed out besides the one-match ban for the red card, deciding to suspend Skriniar for another two games, meaning the starting defender will miss Inter Milan's trip to Parma and two home games against Brescia and Bologna.
The Slovakia defender was given an automatic one-match ban for the sending off but was further punished for "making an offensive remark to the referee along with a blasphemous exclamation."
Skriniar, who has started all but one of Inter's matches this season, has also been fined 10,000 euros ($11,200).
In addition, Inter coach Antonio Conte will also be suspended for one match after collecting his fifth warning and he will miss the game at Parma, where a victory will be crucial to keep the Nerazzurri's fading title hopes alive.
Inter is third in Serie A but has slipped eight points behind Juventus.
