Napoli fans to protest suspension by wearing Higuain masks
Whilst the club has already announced its intention to appeal the ban and try to get it reduced to two games, the fans have taken a completely new approach, and plan to go full V for Vendetta in this weekend's Serie A tie with lowly Verona.

Angry at what they perceive to be a case of pro-Juventus bias, Napoli fans have decided to wear Higuain masks at the San Paolo this Sunday.
Down 3-1 against Udinese at the weekend, El Pipita confronted referee Massimiliano Irrati after being flagged for kicking Udinese's Felipe. Putting his hands on Irrati's chest, Higuain had to restrained from starting on Felipe, and was eventually dragged off the pitch by goalkeeper Pepe Reina.
The Argentinian talisman, 29, has been in unbelievable form this season, netting 30 goals in 31 Serie A games. Life without him will be difficult for Napoli, who train rivals Juventus by six points in the race for the Scudetto.
