Italian midfielder, Nicolo Fagioli, is set to receive “full support” from his club, Juventus, following his seven-month ban for breaching betting rules.
The club confirmed in a statement that it would provide the 22-year-old with the necessary support in carrying out a therapeutic, as he needs it to tackle his gambling problem.
Fagioli was given a twelve-month ban, with five months suspended, and fined 12,500 euros.
Juventus said in a statement on their website: “The club has noted the official press release from the FIGC and confirms its full support for Nicolo Fagioli in tackling this path.
“We are firmly convinced that Nicolo, with the support of the club, his team-mates, his family and the professionals who will assist him, will face the therapeutic and training process with a great sense of responsibility and, once the disqualification has been served, will be able to return to competing with due serenity,” the statement added.
