Fiorentina owner Commisso: We accept Ribery ban

Fiorentina owner Rocco Commisso accepts Franck Ribery's ban.

The midfielder has been suspended for three games after shoving a match official following defeat to Lazio.

"We accept Ribery's ban, so let's move on," Commisso told Radio Toscana.

“I'm sorry for him because he'd been the best in Serie A, then this happened to the poor lad.

“When I played, I never agreed with the referees. People love me even when we don't win, but we hope to win again soon.

“I saw the lads demoralised, especially Ribery. It was a bad day for the red cards and also for the injuries to Lirola and Caceres."
