Tomori suspended after Milan 1-1 Genoa

Tomori was one of several Rossoneri players booked during the protests surrounding the last-minute penalty call at the end of Milan’s 1-1 draw with Genoa on Thursday evening.

Goalkeeper Mike Maignan, plus defenders Tomori and Strahinja Pavlovic were all given cautions during the chaotic last-minute scenes, which ended with Nicolae Stanciu missing the opportunity to win the game by blazing his spot-kick over the crossbar.

For Tomori, however, this was his fifth yellow card of the season and he will now have to serve a one-match ban. The official Serie A statement confirms that Tomori was booked for his protests towards the referee, however, La Gazzetta dello Sport writes that he earned his yellow for over-celebrating after Stanciu missed his penalty.

Who else is suspended for Serie A week 20?

There were no red cards shown during the latest round of Serie A fixtures, but Tomori and four others will have to serve suspensions over the coming weekend.

Lazio’s Mattia Zaccagni is one of them. He has earned a one-match ban and a fine of €1,500 for arguing with the match officials during Lazio 2-2 Fiorentina and picking up his fifth yellow card of the season as a result. His fine was due to the fact that he was the captain of the side.
