Emerson Royal was carded in AC Milan’s 2-1 win over Juventus last night and will thus miss the next league game. As per the regulations of the Supercoppa Italiana, he will still be available for the final against Inter.
The Brazilian right-back played from start in Sergio Conceicao’s first game and towards the end of the second half, he was carded for a stamp. It was his fifth yellow card of the season in domestic competitions, meaning he will miss the next game.

As confirmed by the Sporting Judge today, via MilanNews, Emerson Royal will miss the game against Cagliari. Per the Supercoppa Italiana regulations, a player who is one yellow card away from suspension in the league, and then gets carded in the semi-final, will serve the suspension in the league.
“A player/coach who is one yellow card away from suspension before the start of the Supercoppa Italiana and is carded in the semi-final will serve the suspension in the league match following the conclusion of the Supercoppa Italiana,” the regulations read.
This means that the defender will be available against Inter on Monday. It should also be noted that the Sporting Judge gave Milan a €6k fine for delaying the start of the season half by about five minutes.
Damn… that’s uNFoRtunATe….
Perfect time to test Tomori at RB. He used to play RB at Chelsea so I think he will do fine. It also allows us to shift to 343 or 352 in attack with Theo pushing up.
Good news!
I’m opening some bubbley 4 this
Haha I laughed so hard with you comment. Best news so far.
Best news of the day!
I’d love to see Jimenez at RB but until Rafa comes back I’m not sure who’d play LW.
This is a testament to how far Milan has come. Just a few years ago, no one would link players like this to us. Now, Kolo Muani, Darwin Nunez, Rashford, etc, are all being flashed in front of us. Unfortunately, Milan is not a dumping ground anymore. We need a better striker than these ones. However, I have a feeling that Milan might try to get a cheap deal for Nunez.
Nunez would do great in Serie A. He would resemble Latauro Martinez.
What a relief!!

Nunez is okay out of the three player
