AC Milan vice-president Adriano Galliani is hopeful that Zlatan Ibrahimovic will not receive a long suspension, after the Swede's sending off against Napoli.

The 30-year-old forward was shown a straight red card in the 64th minute of the Rossoneri's goalless draw with the Naples side, after he slapped Salvatore Aronica in the face.

Ibrahimovic will miss the game against league-leaders Juventus on February 25 if he is banned for three or more games. However, Galliani doesn't believe that will be the case.

He said: "It wasn't violent, so I don't think Ibrahimovic will get more than two matches."

Ibrahimovic was sent off twice in Serie A last season.
