Olsen given four-match ban

By Football Italia staff

Cagliari goalkeeper Robin Olsen has been given a four-match ban for brawling with Lecce’s Gianluca Lapadula on Monday.

Olsen threw an arm at Lapadula after the pair clashed during the 2-2 draw between Lecce and Cagliari in yesterday’s rearranged fixture.

The striker, on the other hand, is suspended for two games, having attempted to headbutt the Roma loanee.

Both players have also been fined €10,000 for their troubles, with Olsen ruled out of League action for the rest of this calendar year.

The Rossoblu are already without their usual No 1 Alessio Cragno, who is nursing a long-term injury.

Elsewhere, one-match bans have been dished out to Olsen’s teammate Fabrizio Cacciatore, Udinese midfielder Mato Jajalo, SPAL’s Simone Missiroli, Atalanta defender Rafael Toloi and Roma’s Nicolo Zaniolo.

Milan have been fined €10,000, Atalanta €4,000, Bologna €3,000 and Roma €2,000 for fan trouble.

The Rossoneri, in particular, have been punished for discriminatory chants against Napoli.
