Roberto Soriano will be suspended for Sampdoria–Napoli, the Lega Serie A has confirmed.
The Italian international almost joined the Partenopei this summer, but the transfer deadline passed before the deal could be completed.
Soriano was lucky not to be sent off in this weekend’s defeat to Carpi, when he lost his temper with the referee, running up to bump him on the chest and scream in his face.
Maurizio Mariani showed the midfielder a yellow card, his fifth of the season, meaning he will be suspended for the visit of Napoli.

Soriano has also been fined €1,500 with the Lega noting that the offence was worse as he is the Blucerchiati captain.
Palermo’s Sinisa Andelkovic, Riccarco Gagliolo of Carpi, Udinese defender Danilo and Bologna’s Adam Masina were sent off in this weekend’s fixtures, and will serve a one-game suspension.
In addition to Soriano, Genoa defender Nicolas Burdisso, Atalanta’s Luca Cigarini, Isaac Cofie of Carpi, Fiorentina midfielder Matias Vecino and Leandro Paredes of Empoli picked up a fifth-booking, and will miss one game.
