Inter Milan could reportedly take on bitter rivals Juventus in a mouth-watering Serie A clash at San Siro without home fans.
According to Tuttosport via FCInterNews, there’s a risk of closure following Sunday’s incident in Cremona.
A reckless Nerazzurri supporter threw a flare onto the pitch in the final moments of Inter’s 2-0 win at Cremonese.
Furthermore, the device exploded close to home goalkeeper Emil Audero, who got away unscathed.
However, the Sports Judge has already slapped the Serie A giants with a €50,000 fine.

In addition to the financial punishment, Inter might have to play their next three away matches without travelling supporters.
Indeed, it’s now a near-certainty that Cristian Chivu’s side will not have away support in next weekend’s clash against Sassuolo.
Meanwhile, there’s a chance they would have to face Juventus behind closed doors.
However, that scenario seems a bit far-fetched.
In the meantime, Beppe Marotta has confirmed the club’s readiness to take action against the culprits.
