Conference League, Kean handed two-match ban after red card: the details | OneFootball

Moise Kean will have to serve a two-match suspension in the Conference League. The decision was made by UEFA after the Fiorentina striker was sent off in the first leg against Kolos Kovalivka, when he reacted to a provocative gesture by defender Sarapiyy, who was guilty of pulling his hair during a challenge.

Conference League, two-match ban for Kean after the red card: the details

The verdict means the former Juventus player will miss the return match at the “Franchi,” where Fiorentina will defend the 3-0 lead earned away, and the first match of the competition, should the Viola advance to the next round. The disciplinary body, although it had the option to impose up to a three-match suspension in cases of “violent conduct,” opted for a lighter sanction, considering Kean’s action not excessively serious.

In recent weeks, the striker born in 2000 has also spoken about his journey of rebirth in the Viola jersey: an environment which, according to him, has helped him regain confidence and peace of mind after a difficult period. “In Florence, I immediately felt the warmth of the people and the support of the club. That was exactly what I needed to start over,” confessed the number 18, emphasizing the importance of the work done at Viola Park and the affection received from the fans.
