The 18-year-old has been suspended by the Italian football disciplinary committee for misconduct and non-regulatory behaviour.
“A double yellow card for misconduct against an opponent and for non-regulatory behaviour on the pitch,” a statement from the Italian league read.
Afena-Gyan was bizarrely sent off after celebrating a goal which was eventually ruled out because he controlled the ball with his hand first.
The youngster has been a revelation in Serie A this season, scoring two goals in four matches for the Giallorossis.
Afena-Gyan was just returning to the squad after missing two games because Of COVID-19.
He joined AS Roma early this year, and was with the Primavera side before manager Jose Mourinho promoted him to the first team after seeing the potential in the teenager.
