Afriyie Acquah handed one-match suspension in Italy

Ghana midfielder Afriyie Acquah is suspended for Parma’s next game against Fiorentina.

The 22-year-old was booked in the comprehensive 4-0 win over Atalanta in Serie-A. That booking means the Ghana international has reached the limit for accumulated cards deserving a mandatory one-match ban.

Acquah will therefore be ineligible to play for Parma in Monday’s home game against Fiorentina.

The former Ghana U20 star is returning to his best form having made 14 starts for Parma this term in Serie-A.

Acquah is on loan at Parma from German club TSG Hoffenheim.
