Defender in trouble after bust-up with steward
Juventus are to fine Jonathan Zebina for his reaction to being sent off against Cagliari at the weekend.
The French defender had a run-in with a steward as he left the pitch in the 82nd minute.
He had been shown the red card for a foul that resulted in a penalty for Cagliari, although Juventus still won the match 3-2 thanks to a last-minute goal from Giorgio Chiellini.
Juventus president Giovanni Cobolli Gigli has criticised Zebina for his behaviour and announced that the club will take action.
"We will fine the player for the red card and to have reacted to the provocation," Gigli told the Italian press.
"We are not interested in whether the steward behaved in a certain way, he only had to come back to the dressing room.
"I can understand (Zebina's frustration), but his behaviour didn't follow the club's policy."
The Italian Football Federation has yet to declare whether they will impose further sanctions on Zebina for the incident with the steward, amid reports that he could face a lengthy ban.
