Theo Hernandez received a yellow card for a rather silly foul against Genoa last night, meaning he will miss the next game against Juventus. The full-back, with all of his experience, must be more disciplined.
The Frenchman arrived late for a challenge and was rightfully carded by the referee shortly thereafter. It was his fight yellow card this season (the first player in Serie A to reach that figure) and he will thus be suspended against Juventus.
As highlighted by Andrea Longoni in his latest editorial for MilanNews, discipline is something that Hernandez must work on moving forward. Most of his cards, in fact, have been for dissent and that is not acceptable.
“It’s a suspension that comes from a stupid yellow card, yet another in this first part of the season, after warnings received for dissent. A silly foul, knowing that he’s a warning from suspension and that the next match is against Juventus. From a player of his experience it is right to expect, from this point of view, a definitive leap in maturity,” he wrote.
It remains to be seen if Stefano Pioli will start Davide Bartesaghi or Alessandro Florenzi on the left against Juventus. The fans provably want to see the youngster but in such an important game, it feels like the veteran is ahead.
