Lichtsteiner suspended for Milan clash

Stephan Lichtsteiner will observe a one-match ban and subsequently skip this Saturday’s Serie A encounter against Milan at Juventus Stadium after reaching the yellow card limit.

Four other Bianconeri remain a booking away from missing out on the trip to Cesena on Sunday 15 February: Paolo De Ceglie, Angelo Ogbonna, Paul Pogba and Carlos Tevez.

On the flip side, the visitors will have to make do without Philippe Mexes and new signing Mattia Destro, who are also serving bans for this weekend’s domestic outing. Walking the suspension tightrope are Giacomo Bonaventura and Andrea Poli.
