Serie A disciplinary verdict: 2-match ban for Matic after insults
Sassuolo midfielder Nemanja Matic has received a two-match Serie A ban for insulting the referee, while others suspended include Napoli defender Juan Jesus.
The Disciplinary Commission gave its verdicts following the Week 24 fixtures, although one is still to be played.
That is because Milan vs. Como was rescheduled for February 18, as San Siro was being used for the 2026 Milano-Cortina Winter Olympics opening ceremony.
Serie A bans after Week 24 games
Matic saw red for insulting the referee during Sassuolo’s 5-0 defeat to Inter, and he has been punished with a two-match ban, plus €10,000 fine.
Parma player Mariano Troilo was also fined €2,000 and given a one-match ban, as he initially refused to leave when sent off.
Napoli defender Juan Jesus is suspended for his team’s big match against Roma, having received two yellow cards in the 3-2 win over Genoa.
Also given one-match Serie A bans are Tommaso Pobega (Bologna), Alessio Romagnoli (Lazio), Lameck Banda (Lecce) and Marius Marin (Pisa).
