Inter Milan midfielder Gary Medel has landed a three-game Serie A suspension for elbowing Atalanta's Jasmin Kurtic. The Chile international was not booked for thrusting his left arm into Kurtic's face in the 39th minute of Inter's 2-1 defeat at the Stadio Atleti Azzurri d'Italia as match officials did not notice the incident. However, a league statement said a disciplinary panel had seen fit to impose a retrospective ban on the former Cardiff player, who will now miss games against Torino, Sampdoria and Crotone.

Atalanta coach Gian Piero Gasperini was handed one-match touchline ban for insulting refereed Daniele Doveri, for which he was sent to the stands. Meanwhile, Napoli forward Manolo Gabbiadini was given a two-match ban for "seriously unsportsmanlike conduct" after kicking Crotone's Gian Marco Ferrari
