Douglas Costa Suspended

The winger of Juventus, Douglas Costa has been handed a four-match ban for his spitting shame.
The Brazilian was booked in injury time for elbowing and then aiming a headbutt at Sassuolo's Federico Di Francesco during Juve's 2-1 win on Sunday.
The 28-year-old was then sent off via VAR after TV replays showed him spitting in the face of the Italian.
The Italian Football Federation decided not to punish Costa any further for violent conduct.
However, Costa is in line for a huge fine from the Bianconeri, something Max Allegri confirmed immediately after the final whistle. "Maybe he was irritated at a foul before," the 51-year-old told Sky Sport Italia. "But it doesn't matter, because this absolutely must not happen.
"The one thing we must avoid doing is falling for provocation. We could have scored a third goal, but instead we started to play as individuals.
"We tried to dribble past everyone. This wound up the opposition, who then reacted badly and you get to situations like Douglas Costa." Costa will miss Juve's fixtures against Frosinone, Bologna, Napoli and Udinese.
Giorgio Chiellini has defended his teammate however, insisting he will rightfully be punished, but "should not be crucified".
"The lads are behind him," said the veteran defender. "What happened on Sunday was very uncharacteristic of him "He has said sorry and he’ll pay the price, but at the same time he should not be crucified.

"He’ll help us in the Champions League and also Serie A from late October."
Juventus open up their Champions League campaign against Valencia on Wednsday night, and Costa could play a part, having been included in the travelling party.
