Juventus reserve goalie banned before playing a match
Juventus’ third-choice goalkeeper Carlo Pinsoglio has yet to play a match this season – but on Tuesday was given a one-game ban after being sent off during his team’s last outing.
Serie A’s disciplinary tribunal said that Pinsoglio, ordered from the touchline at the end of his team’s 2-1 win over Torino for insulting the referee, had “protested vigorously using disrespectful words”. He was also fined €5 000.
The 30-year-old signed for Juventus in 2014 but has played only three Serie A matches since then and has been loaned out three times, to Modena, Livorno and Latina who were in all Serie B when he played for them.
Juve also had two directors banned for insulting the referee.
