Torino will be without defender Kamil Glik and midfielder Omar El Kaddouri for their next two Serie A games after both players were handed two-match bans by the Lega Serie A.

The pair will sit out the home game against Udinese on October 19 and the encounter at Lazio a week later having been punished for insulting the referee during Sunday's 2-1 defeat at Napoli.

The news is a blow for Toro coach Giampiero Ventura, whose side have picked up just one win in their opening six games and lie 14th in the standings.

Roma, meanwhile, will not have Greek defender Kostas Manolas available for their next two league games, a home clash against Chievo and a match at Sampdoria on October 25.

Manolas was handed a two-match suspension after being sent off during Roma's 3-2 defeat at Juventus for his part in an angry confrontation with opponent Alvaro Morata.

Morata also saw red in that game after a dangerous challenge on Manolas, and the Spanish striker will serve a one-match ban when the Serie A leaders visit Sassuolo on October 18.
