Ezequiel Lavezzi Faces Three-Match Ban For Spitting

Anyway, the purported exchange of bodily fluids between Lavezzi and Rosi (who was definitely not an innocent party in the whole affair) has earned the former a three match ban, meaning that he’ll miss Napoli’s critical trip to the San Siro to square off against league leaders AC Milan. Lavezzi is key to Napoli’s a three-pronged attack, and although the club’s purchase of Guiseppe Mascara has given them some attacking cover life without their Argentine wizard up front.
