The decision on whether to reduce Borja Valero’s four match ban will be made on Friday, it has emerged.

The Spaniard was sent off during Fiorentina’s match with Parma and was handed the additional punishment for laying hands on the referee while he protested.

This infuriated Viola fans, players and directors alike, with supporters making their feelings clear by holding protests against match officials during their most recent League game with Lazio.

Valero has already served one of the four games he was banned for, and should it be overturned on Friday he will likely go straight into Coach Vincenzo Montella’s squad for their match with Juventus two days later.
