De Paul given three-match ban

By Football Italia staff

Udinese star Rodrigo De Paul received a three-match ban for slapping Inter’s Antonio Candreva, while Davide Calabria is suspended for Milan.

Argentina international De Paul was sent off using a VAR on-field review when he slapped Candreva at San Siro during Udinese’s 1-0 defeat.

He has been banned for three Serie A matches for “violent conduct” in the off-the-ball incident.

Brescia midfielder Daniele Dessena is given a one-game ban and fined €2,000 for two bookable offences against Bologna, including simulation in the penalty area.

Milan full-back Calabria is suspended for the Derby della Madonnina, while Hellas Verona striker Mariusz Stepinski is only handed a one-round ban for his straight red card offence.
