Roma midfielder Daniele De Rossi will reportedly receive a three-match Europa League ban and Emerson Palmieri two.

Both players were sent off for straight red cards during the 3-0 Champions League play-off defeat to Porto.

De Rossi’s foul was considered more dangerous, having forced Maxi Pereira to undergo surgery with a two-month lay-off.

As he was also the captain in that game, De Rossi will be handed a three-match ban by UEFA.

Emerson Palmieri receives a two-game suspension and both will have to be implemented in the Europa League.

This means both will miss the trip to Viktoria Plzen on September 15 and the home tie with Astra on September 29, while De Rossi also skips the Austria Vienna clash at the Olimpico on October 20.

Coach Luciano Spalletti stripped De Rossi of the captaincy after the incident, handing it over to Alessandro Florenzi or Kevin Strootman.

Francesco Totti is always the first choice captain when he starts a match.
