Inter Milan striker Romelu Lukaku was expelled in the first leg of the Coppa Italia quarterfinals at the beginning of April when he was accused of making provocative celebratory gestures after scoring a goal, and was shown the second yellow card by the referee, turning two yellows into a red, and he was suspended for the second leg after his appeal was unsuccessful on Friday (21st), but Italian Football Federation President Gloria Gravina used anti-racism regulations to grant Lukaku an amnesty, which means that he will be able to play in the second leg of the Coppa Italia home game against Juventus in the early hours of Thursday (27th). This means that he can play in the second leg against Juventus in the early hours of Thursday (27th).
Lukaku fired a 12-yard shot into the net in stoppage time to force a 1-1 draw for Inter. He made a salute and a silent gesture to counter the Zuji fans who had abused him with racial slurs, but he was given a second yellow card that led to his expulsion, and even the club's appeals to the Italian sports court were rejected.
However, the President of the Italian Football Federation (FIFA), Mr. Gravina, took into account the report of the referee after the match, which stated that Lukaku had been subjected to racial discrimination during the match, and that, since the fight against racial discrimination is one of the fundamental principles of the world of sports, and in accordance with article 43 of the Law on Sports, Gravina had a good reason to grant Lukaku an amnesty.
