Chivu will miss four very important matches for Inter. Chivu will miss the Roma, Fiorentina, Juventus and Cagliari fixtures.

Inter president Massimo Moratti has spoken about the incident.

“It’s disappointing for us and also for Rossi,” the President continued. “Chivu has apologised and we apologise too.
