Germany Star Facing Blasphemy Allegations After Outburst In Inter Milan 0-1 Roma Serie A Clash
Defender Yann Bisseck is facing accusations of making a blasphemous outburst during yesterday's Serie A clash between Inter Milan and Roma. Italian outlet report that the 24-year-old won't likely face sanctions at the moment, however, due to the lack of audio recording. Advertisement Inter Milan fell to a painful 0-1 defeat to Roma yesterday evening in Serie A. Yann Bisseck came onto the pitch for the Nerazzurri early in the first half. He replaced Benjamin Pavard after the Frenchman suffered an ankle injury. Therefore, Bisseck went on to play the remainder of the match. Bisseck Faces Blasphemy Allegations After Inter Milan Vs Roma Clash RIYADH, SAUDI ARABIA – JANUARY 06: Yann Aurel Bisseck of FC Internazionale passes the ball during the Italian Super Cup Final between FC Internazionale and AC Milan at Kingdom Arena on January 06, 2025 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. (Photo by) And in the second half of yesterday's match, Inter Milan defender Yann Bisseck couldn't contain his frustration. The Gazzetta note that the German international vented his feelings verbally right around the hour mark. The newspaper report that some fans spotted the use of blasphemous phrases by Bisseck in the 63rd minute. Advertisement Language of this type is punishable in Italian football. Players can receive sanctions – and even suspensions – for the use of offending phrases. Inter captain Lautaro Martinez had faced allegations of blasphemous language after Inter's loss to Juventus in February. However, the Argentine eventually reached a settlement with the Italian FA. According to the Gazzetta, it would be hard to see Bisseck receiving a suspension as things stand. Whilst lip-reading appears to show the use of blasphemous language, there is no audio of the incident. Therefore, without clear audio, there would be no suspension.

However, the Nerazzurri are open to offers and would be more than happy to replace the 32-year-old with another striker in 2025-26. As for the wing-back position, Marseille star Luis Henrique is at the top of Inter's shopping list. However, while the player has reportedly agreed terms with the Serie A giants, Inter are negotiating a lower transfer fee with Marseille, as they are unwilling to pay €30m for the Brazilian.
