Roma´s Osvaldo facing 10-day ban

Roma striker Pablo Daniel Osvaldo faces a 10-day suspension after allegedly punching team-mate Erik Lamela in the face.

According to Il Messaggero, the incident took place in the aftermath of Roma’s 2-0 defeat at Udinese, with Osvaldo lashing out at the youngster following an angry exchange.

The two players reportedly settled their differences in training on Sunday, but Osvaldo can nevertheless expect a hefty fine and a 10-day ban from the capital club.

Coach Luis Enrique could decide on further punishment for the former Espanyol forward too.

The incident was allegedly linked to the decision by Lamela to shoot when Osvaldo was in support in the latter stages of the defeat, which leaves Roma on just 17 points in sixth place after 12 matches of the Serie A season.
