AC Milan‘s Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Inter’s Romelu Lukaku have each been handed a one-match ban following Tuesday’s Milan derby.
Ibrahimovic was given the ban for two bookable offenses, one of which was for a confrontation with Inter striker Lukaku.
Lukaku was also booked and is banned because it was his second yellow card in this season’s Coppa Italia.
Ibrahimovic took to his social media account to quash talks claiming he used racist language in the clash, which could yet be the subject of an investigation.
In a social media post on Wednesday, the Swede said: “In Zlatan’s world there is no place for racism.”
Both players scored for their respective teams at the San Siro during the Milan Derby before substitute Christian Eriksen scored a superb free-kick in the 97th minute to give Inter Milan a 2-1 victory.
