Juventus have been handed a two-match closure of the Curva Sud after violence in the derby with Torino.
Sunday’s Derby della Mole was marred by violence, with Torino fans pelting the Bianoconeri bus with stones, and a paper bomb launched by Juve fans injuring several Granata supporters.
A decision on punishment was delayed while evidence was collected, but today the Lega Serie A has announced that the Old Lady’s next two home games will see the Curva Sud devoid of fans.

A decision on punishment was delayed while evidence was collected, but today the Lega Serie A has announced that the Old Lady’s next two home games will see the Curva Sud devoid of fans.
The disciplinary commission found that there was "credible evidence that the device was launched from the away section housing the Juventus Ultras."
The move had been widely expected, and Juventus supporters have also been barred from attending Saturday’s potential Scudetto decider at Sampdoria.
Today’s judgement affects the matches in Turin against Cagliari and Napoli. The club has also been fined €50,000, as have Torino.
Eight supporters have so far been arrested in connection with the violence, with charges pressed against a total of 15 fans.
