Ghana midfielder Sulley Muntari has been slapped with a three-game ban for his sending off in AC Milanââ¬â¢s 1-0 defeat to Inter last Sunday.
The 29-year-old received a straight red card after a heated altercation with Zdravko Kuzmanovic in the Milan derby.
The Ghana international has now been slapped with a three-game ban which means he will be unavailable for the Rossoneri when the Serie-A resumes next year.
Muntari will miss games against Atalanta, Sassuolo and Verona.
The news will come as a massive blow to Milan who have been struggling in Serie-A this season.
The Italian giants are languishing in 13th and in great need of a winning run to help them break into the all-important Champions League qualification spot.
