Forward Zlatan Ibrahimović has been disqualified for three matches and will miss the Milan city derby.

In Sunday's Italian Championship match, the Swede clashed with "Bari" defender Marco Rossi and was sent off the field.

Without one of their leaders, the leaders of Serie A will face not only the mentioned match against Inter, which will take place on April 3, but also matches against Palermo and Fiorentina.

However, Milan has officially confirmed that they intend to appeal.

This season, Ibrahimović has scored fourteen goals in 27 Italian Championship matches.
