Sporting Judge to determine Malen’s suspension

Donyell Malen is preparing as best he can for tomorrow’s match at the Stadio Olimpico (9:00 PM) against José Mourinho’s Real Madrid.

The Dutch striker is looking to shake off the disappointment of the away match in Como, where he was sent off in the 53rd minute for a foul deemed worthy of a straight red card.

The 1999-born striker could have some key opportunities against the Blancos, who are not impervious to opposition attacks, having conceded seven goals in their first nine games.

Sports judge Gerardo Mastrandea’s decision regarding Malen’s red card against Como is expected today. How many matches will the former Aston Villa player receive? Is there any evidence of violent conduct?

As reported by La Gazzetta dello Sport, the player and Roma expect the minimum sanction, meaning only one league match away from the pitch.

The Dutch striker will certainly miss the match against De Rossi’s Genoa. Much, however, will depend on what Fabbri writes in his report, so the possibility of a two-match ban cannot be ruled out.

In this case, Malen would be unable to take part in Napoli-Roma (Corriere dello Sport considers this the most likely option), scheduled for Saturday, October 24th at 6:00 PM. This scenario must be avoided.
