Totti faces lengthy ban
Francesco Totti could face a lengthy ban after being shown a red card against Siena.
Francesco Totti could face a lengthy ban after being shown a red card as Roma slumped to a 2-0 defeat at home to Siena on Wednesday.The Giallorossi icon was dismissed after slapping both Igor Tudor and Francesco Colonnese, as well as kicking out at the latter Siena stopper.
The Italian Disciplinary Commission should review TV images before disciplining the 28-year-old, and for this reason it is expected that Totti will incur at least a three-match ban.
His undisciplined display could not have come at a worse time for the capital club as they have endured a terrible campaign so far and are placed just five points above the relegation zone.
In their remaining six fixtures Bruno Conti's side face games against teams who are either struggling for salvation or fighting for Europe, and after losing six of the last seven games they are in serious danger of the drop.
This unfortunate indiscretion is not Totti's first in a Roma shirt, and could stem from his frustration at the problems that the club face.
Speculation in Italy now suggests that, following the controversy, Totti is ready to consider his future at Stadio Olimpico.
