Angel Di Maria ejected

The expulsion Angel Di Maria received against Monza is likely to be a problem for Juventus until mid-October.

Pending the decisions of the Giudice Sportivo for Fideo’s elbowing of Izzo, it is clear that the Argentine will not automatically be disqualified for only one day, quite the contrary.

The unsportsmanlike conduct is expected to cost him a two-match stop, but according to Gazzetta dello Sport, the penalty could expand to include a protest the Argentine allegedly addressed to the referee before leaving the field.

If the match director put insulting expressions on the record, the player could be stopped for three matches, thus skipping Bologna, Milan and Turin.
