Napoli have been dealt a major blow after the Lega announced that the Argentine has been suspended for four match days following his outburst in yesterday’s 3-1 loss to Udinese.
The former Madrid man was sent off after putting his hands on referee Massimiliano Irrati after being whistled for a kick on Udinese defender Felipe. Higuain will now miss out on pivotal clashes against both Inter and Roma for Maurizio Sarri’s team as Napoli try to hang on to second place.
