An Italian television station says it will not use one of its pundits again after he made a racist comment about Inter Milan striker Romelu Lukaku.
Speaking on TopCalcio24, Luciano Passirani said: "If you go one-on-one with him he will murder you.
"The only way to come up against him is maybe give him 10 bananas to eat..."
Programme director Fabio Ravezzani said, despite Passirani's "immediate apologies" that "he could no longer participate in our broadcasts".
Lukaku was recently subjected to monkey chants by Cagliari fans when he scored a penalty for his side in a 2-1 victory.
