Donyell Malen was sent off in the 53rd minute of Como-Roma.
The Dutch striker was sent off by referee Fabbri following a foul on Como defender Kaiki.
The Giallorossi were therefore left with ten men, as was the case with Sinigaglia last season.
Protests came from Gasperini’s bench.
The Grugliasco coach himself did not accept Fabbri’s decision to send Malen off, given that he had even come close to the ball. This was the first red card for the 1999-born player in a Roma jersey.
Malen will certainly miss Roma’s next league match, scheduled for the Stadio Olimpico against Genoa.
As Opta reports, the Dutch striker received his first red card in Europe’s top 10 leagues today (his 234th appearance in these competitions).
This is a crucial opportunity for Castro, who will have the chance to shine after a disappointing start to the season. The Argentine is still searching for his first goal for the Giallorossi.
