Internazionale defender Juan Jesus has explained his ‘elbow’ on Juventus’s Giorgio Chiellini.

The 23 year-old, who was banned for three matches as a result of the altercation, insists it was accidental and believes that his punishment was too excessive.

“I’d like to apologise for my gesture, which was absolutely not deliberate, and the force of which accidentally hit another player,” he wrote on his official Facebook page.

“I didn’t even see the Juve defender. That’s why I expected a different decision, especially having noticed other acts of much greater gravity being dealt with more leniently. This is not fair.

“I apologise to my teammates and the Inter supporters too. What pains me the most is knowing that I can’t be with them over the next games. Leaving them now cuts much deeper than any ban.”
