Leonardo Bonucci will be unable to face former club Juventus this weekend after the AC Milan defender was hit with a two-match suspension.

AC Milan defender Leonardo Bonucci has been banned for two matches following his red card during Sunday's 0-0 draw against Genoa.

Bonucci's blow to Aleandro Rosi's head left the Genoa player impaired for several minutes before the blood was cleaned up and he was able to continue playing.

The Italian defender was not dismissed initially but, after the referee consulted the VAR, he immediately brandished his red card.

The two-match ban rules him out of AC Milan's game at Chievo on Wednesday and a reunion with former club Juventus this weekend.
