Udinese's Ghanaian international Sulley Muntari has received his second successive two-match ban this season.

The Italian football disciplinary authority handed the latest ban on Thursday following his expulsion in Sunday's 1-0 defeat at the hands of AS Roma.

The 22-year-old was sent off after receiving a second booking for unsporting behaviour.

The midfielder was playing in his first match since his two match suspensions in October after being sent off during the game against Parma.
