Touchline ban for Gasperini

Gian Piero Gasperini has officially been given a touchline ban, so will miss Atalanta’s big match against Milan on Friday.

The coach was sent off during an ill-tempered 1-0 win over Bologna, in which he argued loudly with Sinisa Mihajlovic, but only Gasperini was dismissed.

According to the official report, he was dismissed for a second yellow card, having “vehemently protested” the first booking for dissent.
