Juventus winger Douglas Costa is reportedly set to receive a three-game ban and a €200,000 fine after he was sent off on Sunday for spitting at Sassuolo's Federico Di Francesco.
The Brazilian was dismissed after a VAR assessment, as he aimed an elbow at his opponent as well as attempted a headbutt. Footage then showed Costa spitting in Di Francesco's face.
Per Gazzetta dello Sport (h/t Football Italia), spitting is classed as violent conduct and as such the winger is set to sit out the next three games. It's added that violent conduct offences can result in a ban of five games if the incident is particularly serious.
