Rossoneri Round-up for 8 May: Paqueta’s season over after three match ban for red card

This is awful news.

Lucas Paquetà will miss the rest of the season after getting a three match ban for his red card for slapping the arms of the referee in the match against Bologna.

Milan should be able to win the next three games without Paquetà, but it will be a lot more difficult. Hopefully they’ll be able to overcome his absence, but his absence will be felt on the attacking side of the ball.

On to the links.
