Ibrahimovic Handed One-Match Ban For Insulting Referee As Misunderstanding Claim Falls On Deaf Ears

The enigmatic Swedish striker was sent off on his last outing for the Rossoneri and will not figure in the club’s next game against Genoa

Zlatan Ibrahimovic will not figure in AC Milan’s next game after collecting a red card in their last, with claims of misunderstanding on the part of match officials falling on deaf ears as a one-match ban has been handed out.

An enigmatic Swedish frontman was dismissed during a 3-1 victory for the Rossoneri over Parma, with it alleged that the 39-year-old had insulted referee Fabio Maresca.

Ibrahimovic insisted that was not the case, as he pleaded his innocence, but the Sporting Judge in Serie A has ruled that a suspension must be served.
