Zlatan Ibrahimovic will miss the Scudetto showdown with Inter after the Milan man was banned for three matches.

The Diavolo sensation was dismissed in yesterday’s 1-1 draw with Bari after clashing with Marco Rossi.

The League’s disciplinary panel viewed the incident today and ruled it was an act of violent conduct.

Ibra will thus miss the games against Palermo, his former club Inter in what may be a Scudetto decider, and Fiorentina.

Milan are expected to launch an appeal against today’s decision.

Time for one of our other front players to actually do something to earn their money then.

Yeah .. Plus, we have barely watched Pato & Cassano/Robinho in action without Zlatan. Maybe this could prove to be an omen in disguise

Now Zlatan will have a whole month to rest. Though all 3 are tough games.

I have a feeling we'll start playing better without Ibra.

Gotta say I admire iBra's thirst for consistency I mean everybody knows him to be a big game choker and invisible against the big teams but to lose it and get sent off vs Bari and ensure he's not even going to be physically on the field against inter and co. is really stepping it up. When it comes to disappearing iBra makes even Houdini look like a novice

But how are they going to play better if he's not there to yell at them when they dare not do exactly what he wants?

I've got a feeling it'll get reduced to 2 matches. 3 is harsh. Hopefully this will make Ibra hungry again and give him some rest.

I really hope so. Because I'm not sure how it's gonna function. Now is the time for Allegri to invent another offensive option, because we have only 3 real options, of which 2 are bound to start. We need those kids now more then Merkel, just to sit on the bench and give us some alternative.

Just think what could happen if Pato gets injured.

The gave him 3 games so after we appealed it could be reduced to 2. in other words they just made sure he wouldn't play the derby...

I have heard that someone will try to reduce it. But getting it to 1 match or nothing will be hard I think.

"Someone"? I don't like your implication there.

Julio Cesar: 'Ibra derby would be shameful'

Julio Cesar believes it would’ve been “absolutely shameful” if Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s ban had been reduced to let him play in the Milan derby.

The striker did partially win his appeal against a three-match suspension, but the reduction to two rounds means he is still going to miss the Derby della Madonnina.

“It would’ve been absolutely shameful if Ibra were allowed to play the derby after what he did,” blasted the Inter goalkeeper, currently on international duty with Brazil.

“In any case, I believe that with or without Ibrahimovic, Milan remain a very strong squad and the result uncertain.

“Let us not forget that Lucio won’t be there either due to suspension and he was set to mark Zlatan. Therefore we’re even...”
