Inter Milan left back Cristian Chivu has been banned for four matches after lashing out at Bari's Marco Rossi during Thursday's 3-0 league win, Serie A said in a statement on Friday.
The Romanian has apologized and told the press: "I'm sorry, I feel like an idiot."
His absence means Inter's new Japan left back Yuto Nagatomo is likely to make his debut against AS Roma on Sunday in a match key to both teams' title aspirations.
