The ugly incident saw Patric sent on off at stoppage time as his side went on to lose 2-1 to the relegation-threatened side.

SunSport reports the former Barcelona star will have to part with a further £9,000 as fine for his conduct.

Patric’s punishment came despite Donati absolving him of any wrongdoing, revealing his opponent never inflicted any bodily harm and even apologised afterwards.

“He did nothing to me and apologised straight after, so bear that in mind,” Donati divulged to Italian media outlet ANSA.

“I also live with emotions so I understand Patric why, in such a hard-fought game, did what he did,”he added.

Patric is now due to miss Lazio’s remaining matches including fixtures against Juventus, Udinese and Cagliari.

His side’s defeat to Lecce all but ended their title hopes despite sitting second on the Serie A standings.
