“We are firmly convinced that Nicolò, with the support of the club, his teammates, his family and the professionals who will assist him, will face the therapeutic and training process with a great sense of responsibility and, once the disqualification has been served, will be able to return to competing with due serenity,” Juventus said in a statement.

The 22-year-old collaborated with the authorities, which severely helped his cause, reducing the minimum ban of three years to just 7 months.

Other Italian players have also been suspected for gambling violations. Sandro Tonali and Nicolo Zaniolo were called out of international duty to answer question in the ongoing investigations. A final statement about their cases is yet to be released.
