Serie A: Maignan to miss AC Milan vs Juventus with one-match ban
The HinduMike Maignan will miss AC Milan’s Serie A clash with Juventus after he was given a one-match ban on Tuesday for his sending off in a match now made famous by Olivier Giroud’s goalkeeping heroics. Italian media reported that Maignan risked a two-match ban but Serie A said on Tuesday Maignan would miss one game, leaving him free to play in league leader Milan’s trip to Napoli at the end of the month. Maignan was replaced in goal by his Les Bleus teammate Giroud, France’s all-time leading scorer, as Milan had used up all its substitutions. He capped an incredible ending to a match, in which Genoa’s goalkeeper Josep Martinez was also sent off, by rushing out of his goal to twice deny Genoa and ensure Milan took the three points back to the San Siro.
