AC Milan are not worried that striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic could be handed a ban, following his antics in Massimiliano Allergi’s side’s 2-0 win over Cagliari on Tuesday.
The 30-year-old was caught by cameras uttering expletives shortly after suffering an intestinal spasm in the second half of the Serie A game.
It is believed the Federal Prosecutor’s Office may decide to demand images and video footage to start an investigation and hand the striker a ban, which could see him miss the derby against Inter.
However, Milan believe that such materials do not convey any conclusive evidence and are confident that the Swede will not be suspended.
The case of Ibrahimovic is not without precedent as in March 2010 coach Domenico Di Carlo (Chievo) and striker Davide Lanzafame (Parma) were suspended for uttering blasphemous expressions.
An official ruling on the Swede’s case is expected in the following days.
