Juventus goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon has been
handed a one-match ban for making a 'blasphemous expression' and will miss
Saturday's Turin derby at Torino, the Italian Federal Court of Appeal ruled on
Tuesday.
Buffon was initially given a 5,000 euros
($5,862.00) fine over an incident which took place during a Serie A clash
against Parma on December 19, 2020.
That sanction was appealed by the federal
prosecutor, which was accepted on Tuesday by the Federal Court of Appeal, with
Buffon's punishment upgraded to a one-match suspension.
