Roma’s Wesley Franca and five other Serie A players have been hit with one-match suspensions following the conclusion of the league’s 27th round of fixtures.
The Lega Serie A has officially confirmed a one-match suspension for Roma wing-back Wesley Franca following the Giallorossi’s 3-3 draw with Juventus.
The Brazilian defender collected his fifth caution of the season at the Stadio Olimpico, triggering an automatic ban.
Consequently, Wesley will be unavailable for Sunday’s league encounter against Daniele De Rossi’s Genoa as Roma continues their push for European qualification.
Joining Wesley on the sidelines are five other players following the latest round of fixtures.
Sassuolo’s Andrea Pinamonti received a straight red card, while Fabiano Parisi, Remo Freuler, Filippo Terracciano, and Lautaro Valenti all reached the yellow card threshold.
Regarding the disciplinary action, league officials confirmed that Wesley “will now have to serve a one-match ban when the Giallorossi go up against Daniele De Rossi’s Genoa.”
