Ghana defender Samuel Kuffour has been banned for three matches in the Italian Serie A.
The 30-year-old received the suspension for elbowing AS Roma's Christian Panucci in the face on Saturday during a league game.
A sporting judge ruled that Kuffour, who was making his debut for Livorno, committed the act voluntarily during Roma's 2-0 win.
Kuffour will miss matches against Fiorentina, Cagliari and AC Milan.
