AC Milan fury compounded as De Paul tackle leaves De Sciglio sidelined

The Argentine escaped punishment for a nasty challenge before going on to score the winner, leaving Milan seething at the lack of punishment

AC Milan have confirmed that Mattia De Sciglio is facing time on the sidelines with ankle ligament damage sustained in a tackle against Udinese that incensed head coach Vincenzo Montella.

The full-back was caught by a crude challenge from Rodrigo De Paul in Sunday's 2-1 loss to Udinese and was forced off the pitch soon afterwards.

Montella slammed the decision to award the Udinese forward only a yellow card for the foul, with Milan's frustrations compounded when De Paul went on to score the winning goal.
