Inter Milan fans are banned from traveling until March 23 due to flares at the Cremonese goalkeeper

Italy’s Interior Ministry on Tuesday imposed a travel ban on Inter Milan fans until March 23 after a flare thrown from the stands landed near Cremonese goalkeeper Emil Audero during Inter’s visit on Sunday.

The order also bans the sale of tickets to residents of Lombardy, the northern region where Milan is located, for Inter’s league matches in Sassuolo, Lecce and Fiorentina. The Milan derby on March 8 at AC Milan is excluded from the ban as it does not involve fan movement, the ministry said in a statement.

“The measure is aimed at guaranteeing public order and safety and preventing recurrence of incidents that could jeopardize the smooth running of sporting events,” the statement said.

Inter, which has an eight-point lead at the top of the league, visits Sassuolo on Sunday.
