Disciplinary situation

Bolano (Parma) and Pizarro (Inter) are both disqualified for Wednesday's cup clash at the Tardini. From the Coppa Italia last sixteen stage players are cautioned after picking up one booking and automatically disqualified for one match after two yellow cards. There are, therefore, no players on cautions for the cup round of sixteen as all catuions from the previous rounds are cancelled.
