Britos banned for three games

By Football Italia staff

Napoli’s Miguel Britos has been handed a three-game ban for headbutting Juventus striker Alvaro Morata.

The match at Juventus Stadium was in stoppage time when the defender butted his opponent, which resulted in a penalty for the Bianconeri.

The Lega Serie A has taken a strong line on the incident, banning the Uruguayan for three matches.

Juventus have also been fined €15,000, after their fans were heard singing chants “expressive of discrimination on the grounds of territorial origin”.

Udinese’s Guilherme, Jasmin Kurtic of Fiorentina, Torino’s Crisitian Molinaro and Milan defender Cristian Zaccardo were the other players sent off at the weekend, and have all received a one-match ban.

Also missing the last match of the season are Emmanuel Cascione [Cesena], Bostjan Cesar [Chievo], Danilo D’Ambrosio [Inter], Panagiotis Kone [Udinese], Massimo Maccarone [Empoli], Norberto Neto [Fiorentina] and Vasilis Torosidis [Roma], with all of them having been booked and crossed the disciplinary threshold.

Milan Coach Filippo Inzaghi has also been fined €5,000 after insulting the referee during his side’s win over Torino, something which he was sent to the stands for.
