Inter’s Lukaku & AC Milan’s Ibrahimovic Unlikely To Receive Further Punishment For Milan Derby Bust-Up, Italian Media Claim

Inter’s Romelu Lukaku and AC Milan’s Zlatan Ibrahimovic are not expected to receive further punishment for their fiery dispute in Tuesday’s Derby della Madonnina.

The two players ended up in a war of words with one another and Ibrahimovic even headbutted Lukaku at one point, as tensions reached boiling point at San Siro shortly before half-time in Inter’s 2-1 win over AC Milan.

As per La Repubblica’s print edition, the disciplinary consequences, if any, will be learned tomorrow, but it would appear both Lukaku and Ibrahimovic will receive a one-match ban to be served in the Coppa Italia, which is what they are already guaranteed to have.

Lukaku was already a booking away from suspension when referee Paolo Valeri issued yellow cards for both players, while Ibrahimovic was later sent off after receiving a second caution.

The report goes on to explain that Inter are confident of there being a painless solution reached over the situation between the two great goal scorers.

Lukaku will miss the first leg of the Nerazzurri’s semi-final against Juventus, to be played at San Siro on Tuesday, along with Achraf Hakimi after the Moroccan picked up a booking in stoppage time against the Rossoneri.
