Mike Maignan faces at least one game out in the Europa League after his first-half red card in Milan’s clash with Bournemouth.
According to MilanNews24, the goalkeeper will certainly miss Milan’s next European fixture, and the ban could be longer if UEFA rule the incident violent conduct.
Maignan was sent off in the 27th minute when, during a Bournemouth corner, he pushed his hand into Tyler Adams’ face with no chance of playing the ball. After a VAR check, he was shown a straight red card, and Marcus Tavernier converted the resulting penalty to make it 2-0.
Ruben Amorim was forced to sacrifice Omari Hutchinson to bring on young goalkeeper Lorenzo Torriani.
Maignan available for Serie A and the derby
UEFA suspensions only apply to its own competitions, so Maignan will be available for Milan’s Serie A games. That includes Sunday’s trip to Udinese and the derby against Inter on 31 October.
He will miss the visit of Ferencváros to San Siro on 5 November. If UEFA hands him a longer ban, he could also sit out the trip to Olympiacos on 26 November.
