Balotelli out of Juve clash
AC Milan striker Mario Balotelli will miss Sunday's top of the table clash at Juventus despite having his three-match suspension cut to two games.
"The Federal Court of Justice has partially upheld an appeal by Milan and reduces the matches Mario Balotelli is banned for by three to two games, adding a fine of 20,000 euros ($26,200) in exchange for the third match," the Italian Football Federation (FIGC) said on its website on Friday.
The Italian international was suspended after picking up his fourth booking of the season for aiming an insult at referee Paolo Tagliavento in the 2-2 draw at Fiorentina two weeks ago.
He will now return for next week's home match against Catania.
