"Adrien Rabiot was sent off for receiving two yellow cards in quick succession in the win over Pisa, leading to confusion about his ban. Going into Friday's match at the Arena Garibaldi, it was known that Rabiot was one caution away from reaching the threshold of five, which results in a one-game ban. He got that yellow in the closing stages against Pisa, after fouling his man right on the edge of the box."
"However, he was not happy with the decision and so protested with the linesman and the referee Michael Fabbri, which earned him a second yellow and a red card. In fairness to the Frenchman the foul was dubious and the card even more so, but he got his marching orders. So, what does this mean in terms of the suspension he will now serve? Rather than becoming a two-game ban, MilanNews write that the regulations say he will miss Wednesday's match against Como."
Adrien Rabiot received two yellow cards in quick succession late in the win over Pisa: one for a foul on the edge of the box and a second for protesting with the linesman and referee Michael Fabbri. The second booking resulted in a red card and his dismissal. Regulations mean the dismissal will not trigger a two-game ban; he will miss Wednesday's match against Como due to the suspension. He is eligible to return in Parma in the following round. His yellow-card total will be back to four after serving the suspension, placing him one caution away from a further one-game ban.
