Three-game ban for Balotelli

By Football Italia staff

Mario Balotelli’s post-game confrontation with the referee has cost him a three-match ban. He’ll miss Milan’s games against Bologna, Sampdoria and Juventus.

The Italian international was shown the red card by referee Banti after the final whistle for taking his protests too far following the 2-1 loss against Napoli last night.

Milan are ready to appeal against the sentence.

Meanwhile, Milan will have their Curva Sud shut for their next home game against Sampdoria as punishment for racist taunts towards Neapolitans.
