Milan goalkeeper Maignan gets surprise Serie A ban | OneFootball

Milan goalkeeper Mike Maignan will surprisingly serve a one-game ban in the upcoming Serie A game against Lecce as he disrespected the referee in the San Siro tunnel after a 2-1 loss against Lazio on Sunday.

Milan will be forced to do without Maignan in their next league game.

The French keeper was not sanctioned during the latest Serie A game against Lazio but still received a one-match ban.

Maignan is among the eight players suspended for one game by the Sports Judge after the latest Serie A round.
