It has been confirmed that Gianluigi Donnarumma will miss AC Milan’s Coppa Italia quarter-final clash against city rivals Inter.
There was a big moment of controversy just inside the final 20 minutes of Milan’s penalty shootout win over Torino in midweek.
Rafael Leao successfully closed down Torino goalkeeper Milinkovic-Savic who lost the ball and then kneeled in the way of the forward who went down, but the referee Valeri did not point for a penalty. Instead, as the appeals rained down, he sent off Donnarumma who was protesting from the bench.
As MilanLive reports, the sporting judge has handed Gianluigi Donnarumma a one-game disqualification for the Coppa Italia, which means he will miss the derby, returning for the semi-final if the Rossoneri get through.
Although the disqualification was certain, the number of games was not, but the judge showed a certain leniency towards Gigio as the goalkeeper was accused of a disrespectful attitude towards the referee who had initially warned him for protests.
Valeri found no aggravating circumstances that could have led to a heavier disqualification.
