| Dinho hit by three-game ban |

Milan star Ronaldinho has been handed a three-game Coppa Italia suspension for elbowing an opponent against Lazio.
The Rossoneri lost to Lazio in the Coppa Italia last 16 on December 3 and tempers ran high at San Siro.
Sports judge Gianpaolo Tosel reviewed video evidence today and found Ronaldinho guilty of 'hitting an opponent in the face with his elbow.'
The panel also judged that Dinho's actions were intentional because of the 'unnatural height of his elbow.'
The news won't be a huge blow to Carlo Ancelotti, whose side are out of the competition.
Carletto has just welcomed the Brazilian back to training after a bout of 'flu'.
Udinese's Fabio Quagliarella and Emanuele Belardi have been handed one-game bans, as has Giuseppe Biava of Genoa, Milan's Emerson, Sampdoria midfielder Daniele Dessena and Manolo Pestrin of Serie B side Salernitana.
