News highlights:
- Antonio Conte banned for one month
- Inter thriller ends in disappointment as they blow two leads in 10 minutes against Sassuolo.
- Skrinier also sees ready to make the matter worse for Conte men.
Inter will have to do without gaffer coach Antonio Conte in the dugout for Sunday’s Serie A game with Parma due to suspension.
The former Chelsea boss saw his fifth yellow card of the season on Wednesday, after seeing his side play out a captivating 3-3 draw with Sassuolo at San Siro. But it was a thriller ending in disappointment for the Narrazuri as they two leads in 10 minutes.
Milan Skrinier was dismissed “making an offensive remark to the referee along with a blasphemous exclamation”
The Nerazzurri led 2-0 in that encounter thanks to goals from Ciccio Caputo and Romelu Lukaku, but were pegged back to 2-2. Another strike from Borja Valero after 85 minutes seemed to have won the match for Conte’s side but Giangiacomo Magnani’s late equaliser cost them two points and dealt them a major blow in the title race. It was shortly after that effort that Conte saw yellow.
“I think we deserved much more considering how much we created, whereas I don’t recall any Samir Handanovic saves,” Conte said of the match in his press conference. “It’s something we keep repeating in this pattern and are paying a heavy price.
“I am very disappointed and so are the lads. When you play this type of game and put so much into it, you have the chance to win despite the difficulties in the key area of midfield, you have to take home the three points. We didn’t do that, it’s disappointing and troubling.
“We had the chances to finish it and we didn’t. I don’t know what more we can do other than keep working.
“I am happy with the performance, we’ve got to be more careful on the details. That is where we can grow and improve.”
Conte showed his fustration as his Inter side blow away leads in 10 minutes.
Inter, who are eight points behind leaders Juventus with 11 fixtures remaining and four back from second-placed Lazio, will also have to do without centre-back Milan Skriniar after he was sent off with a straight red card, rendering him unavailable for the next three games.
The Slovakian, who was dismissed for “making an offensive remark to the referee along with a blasphemous exclamation” has also been fined €10,000 (£9,000/$11,200).
As well as the trip to Parma at the weekend, he will sit out a home encounter with Brescia next Wednesday and also sit out clash with
Bologna in Milan on July 5.
