Juventus Defender Kalulu Suspended Two Matches After Lazio Red Card

Juventus defender Pierre Kalulu has been suspended for the last two Serie A games of the season following a red card issued during their 1-1 draw against Lazio for violent conduct against Lazio forward Valentin Castellanos. The red card was initially missed by the referee but was confirmed after a review using the pitchside monitor. Kalulu, who has played 29 league games this season and is a key aerial player for Juventus, will miss the upcoming matches against Udinese and Venezia. Juventus currently sits fourth in the Serie A standings, level on points with Lazio, as both teams compete for a top-four finish and qualification for next season's Champions League. In response to Kalulu's behavior, Juventus is reportedly imposing an internal fine ranging from 50,000 to 60,000 euros. The suspension marks the end of Kalulu's season, which is a significant blow to Juventus as they aim to secure a Champions League spot.
