The FIGC press release starts the seven-month sanction: the midfielder will be able to return at the end of May
The statement with which the FIGC formalizes the already known measures against Nicolò Fagioli for the betting case also establishes the effective date of the sanction. The 7-month disqualification from competitions thus begins from tomorrow 20 October, leaving the window open for the midfielder’s return for the final of the current championship: not for Bologna-Juventus on 19 May, the penultimate matchday, but certainly in time for Juventus- Monza on the 26th, last round of Serie A.
