Napoli centre back Miguel Britos has issued an apology for his assault on Juventus forward Alvaro Morata during their 3-1 loss in Turin on Saturday evening.
Reacting to a perceived trip on him as he jogged away late in the game, the Uruguayan responded by planting a firm head butt on to Morata.
Speaking through the club’s official Twitter account @SSCNapoli, he stated: “I apologise to everyone for my action.
“I know that it was wrong and I am sorry.”
Britos was issued with a straight red card for the incident and further disciplinary action seems set to follow.”
