Izzo has 'nothing to do' with fixing

(ANSA) - Rome, May 24 - Genoa defender Armando Izzo on Tuesday denied any wrongdoing after being put under investigation in relation to allegations that the Camorra mafia fixed two matches disputed by his former club, Avellino, in Serie B in 2014. "I have absolutely nothing to do with it. I have faith in the judiciary," he told Skysport. "I feel like I'm living in a nightmare. The only thing I remember is that I was injured in those two matches and I didn't even play. Now I feel a little dejected after reading these things".
    Investigators suspect a Camorra clan used major sums to corrupt players to influence the results of two matches -Avellino's 3-0 win over Reggina and Modena's 1-0 win over Avellino. Izzo, 24, took part in a pre-Euro 2016 training camp with the Italian national team last week but did not make the cut for the preliminary 30-man squad announced Monday.
    Two other former Avellino players were among 10 people arrested on Monday - both were put under house arrest.
