Lukaku and Ibrahimovic escape additional punishment following Milan derby clash in Coppa Italia

Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Romelu Lukaku have escaped additional punishments following their clash during the Coppa Italia quarter-final between AC Milan and Inter on Tuesday night.

Both men will serve a one-match ban from the Italian domestic cup competition, however, this was due to cards they picked up during the match itself, with authorities deciding no extra punishments are needed on top of the cautions they picked up at the time.

Ibrahimovic later picked up a second yellow card for a clumsy tackle in the second half, while Lukaku was one yellow away from a suspension before the game, and so will sit out the semi-final first leg against Juventus, as will team-mate Achraf Hakimi because of the booking he picked up.
