Fiorentina’s Cristiano Biraghi says “we’ll pay the fines” if the Lega Serie A punishes them for wearing the special Davide Astori captain’s armband.
The league has decided this year that custom armbands aren’t allowed, but the likes of Daniele De Rossi and Papu Gomez have ignored the new rule.
Yesterday the Lega warned that players would be punished for non-compliance from Week 4 onward.

The league has decided this year that custom armbands aren’t allowed, but the likes of Daniele De Rossi and Papu Gomez have ignored the new rule.
Yesterday the Lega warned that players would be punished for non-compliance from Week 4 onward.
This is a particularly emotive topic for the Viola, as their captain Germán Pezzella has been wearing an armband dedicated to his predecessor, Davide Astori, who tragically died earlier this year.
“The Fiorentina armband dedicated to Astori can’t be touched,” Biraghi told journalists at Coverciano.
“If the Lega decide to fine us then we’ll pay the fines.”
