Juventus forward Kenan Yildiz will miss their Serie A games against Bologna and Lazio after the Turkey international was handed a two-game ban by an Italian sports judge on Tuesday following his red card against Monza last weekend.

Yildiz, 19, was sent off for violent conduct in Juve's 2-0 home win against bottom side Monza on Sunday after elbowing Monza midfielder Alessandro Bianco in the face before halftime.

Yildiz was also fined 10,000 euros ($11,402).

Juventus will travel to fifth-placed Bologna on Sunday before visiting Lazio, in seventh, on May 10 in what could be decisive encounters for the Turin side in the race for Champions League qualification.
