AC Milan defender Philippe Mexes has been slapped with a four-match ban after video footage showed the Frenchman punching Juventus defender Giorgio Chiellini. Chiellini had called for a ‘heavy sanction’ for Mexes following the sides’ bad-tempered clash in Turin on Sunday. Serie A disciplinary officials used video footage to rule that Mexes had indeed punched Chiellini as the pair tussled prior to a corner being taken. Mexes was handed a four-match suspension for the punch and receiving a red card. He will miss games against Udinese, Parma, Lazio and Fiorentina.
