Frosinone goalkeeper Stefano Turati banned for blasphemy

Serie A side Frosinone will miss their goalkeeper Stefano Turati for a match after he was charged with blasphemy.

According to a report by ANSA, the Serie A have decided to hand out a one-match ban to Frosinone goalkeeper Stefano Turati for swearing at opponents using a blasphemous phrase during his sideโ€™s opening match against Napoli.

Serie A sporting judge Gerardo Mastrandrea announced the decision and said that the 21-year-old was clearly seen on TV committing a breach of conduct in the 15th minute of the match. It was the playerโ€™s as well as the clubโ€™s top-flight debut as the Serie B champions faced the Serie A champions on the opening matchday of the new season.ย 

As the referee didnโ€™t show a card to the goalkeeper following the incident, it was captured by cameras later on and therefore the judgement was passed. Turati will miss Frosinoneโ€™s clash against Atalanta on Saturday.ย 

Italy legend Gianluigi Buffon also received a similar ban in March 2021.ย
