Serie A's sporting judge fined Juventus for holding up the start of the game at Fiorentina, and handed the hosts the same penalty. No Juventus player is banned, so Spalletti has a full squad for Venezia, though Bremer and Kolo Muani now have a sanction against their names.

Juventus came out of their trip to Florence with a bill rather than a ban. Serie A sporting judge Gerardo Mastrandrea punished the club for an unjustified delay to the start of the first half at Fiorentina. The hosts were handed an identical penalty for the same hold-up.

The rulings came in Official Communiqué No. 60, published in Milan on 10 November 2026. Mastrandrea reached them at a meeting that day with Stefania Ginesio and AIA referees’ representative Carlo Moretti. The communiqué states that the fines, including those given to individual club members, will be charged to each club’s LCA league account.

Only one club paid more than Juventus. Como received the heaviest club fine of the round, €10,000, for delaying the start of the second half by about two minutes. The judge treated that as a repeated offence. Genoa were fined €4,000 and Lazio €3,000.

No Juventus player will miss the Venezia game

More important for Spalletti is what the ruling did not contain. No Juventus player was suspended. Only two players across the league were banned after round 11, according to Corriere dello Sport. They were Parma’s Ndiaye and Frosinone’s Bracaglia, each for one match.

That leaves Spalletti with a full squad for the first game after the international break. He will want every option. The match in Florence, scheduled for Sunday 8 November at 20:45, was assigned to referee Colombo, with Maresca as fourth official and Di Paolo on VAR.

It ended in a draw that left Juventus seventh on 18 points, Eurosport reported. Fiorentina stayed two points clear of the relegation zone. Spalletti said afterwards that his side “are not consistent” and sometimes lose their way over very little.

Bremer and Kolo Muani open their disciplinary record

The ruling did leave a mark on four first-team figures. Randal Kolo Muani, Gleison Bremer and Juan Cabal each picked up their first sanction of the season. Spalletti’s assistant Marco Domenichini did too.

Bremer and Kolo Muani are key players for the coach.

The count has only started, but it will matter as the season goes on. The fine itself is small, and the sporting picture is unchanged.
