Serie A’s Sports Judge has announced its decisions from the 11th round, and the punishment is spread across the league. Parma lose Abdoulaye Niakhate to a one-match suspension, Frosinone lose Gabriele Bracaglia to the same sanction, and Monza see Ivan Juric banned for one match as well.

Parma and Frosinone take the clearest squad hits

Niakhate’s ban came for a foul challenge on an opponent in possession of a clear goalscoring opportunity. Bracaglia’s suspension followed unsporting behaviour towards an opponent, and he was already on his fifth booking. Parma also had Enrico Delprato fined €1,500.00 and shown a yellow card for protests towards the match officials, with the sanction aggravated because he is the captain.

Those are the clearest first-team hits in the ruling. Parma sit 16th with 8 points from 11 matches, while Frosinone are 6th on 20 points, so the loss of Bracaglia lands on a side in better shape but still carrying a suspension into the next round.

Monza's bench-side punishment

Jurić’s punishment is the one that stands out for Monza, because it comes on top of a run that has already put them under pressure. Monza are 18th and have lost four of their last five league matches.

TuttoMercatoWeb reported that Jurić was sanctioned for “having, in the 49th minute of the second half, while leaving the technical area, adopted an intimidating attitude towards the opposing team's assistant coach.” The ruling adds a one-match suspension and a yellow card, which means Monza head into the next stage of the season without one of the figures on their bench.

Across the round 11 decisions, the Sports Judge did not limit the damage to one club or one type of punishment. Parma, Frosinone and Monza were the most obvious losers, and the disciplinary sheet also included cautions for Andrea Carboni, Francesco Pio Esposito and Christian Pulisic, plus one-match suspensions for Stefano Mazzoni and Diego Mantovani for openly contesting an arbitration decision.
