Official: McKennie, Gudmundsson and Maleh bans confirmed after Serie A Week 31
The decisions from the sports judge are in following the completion of the 31st round of 2025-26 Serie A fixtures, and Juventus’s Weston McKennie, Fiorentina’s Albert Gudmundsson and Cremonese’s Youssef Maleh are among the players who have picked up suspensions.
Serie A bans and fines confirmed after Week 31
Week 31 of the 2025-26 Serie A season kicked off on Saturday with Sassuolo’s 2-1 victory over Cagliari and came to a close with Napoli’s 1-0 victory over Milan on Easter Monday.
Four red cards were shown during the weekend’s round of fixtures. Cremonese’s Maleh has earned the most severe punishment: A two-game ban and a €5,000 fine for striking an opponent with his arm in an off-ball incident towards the end of his side’s 2-1 loss against Bologna.
Bologna’s Lewis Ferguson was also sent off just a few moments after Maleh during second-half stoppage time and will have to serve a one-match suspension as a result.
Fiorentina’s Gudmundsson was also sent off during his side’s 1-0 win away against Hellas Verona, as was Verona’s Tomas Suslov. Both players will have to serve one-match suspensions.
Three other players have picked up one-match suspensions after earning their fifth yellow cards of the season. They include Juventus’s McKennie, who will now be ruled out of Saturday’s match away against Atalanta, Fiorentina’s Nicolo Fagioli, who will miss a visit from Lazio, and Parma’s Mateo Pellegrino, who will miss out on his side’s home match against Napoli.
The Lega Serie A also confirmed that Milan will be fined €25,000 and Napoli €3,000 for unnecessarily delaying kick-off in both halves of their match. Udinese have also been fined €3,000 for the same reason.
Lecce have been fined €10,000, Inter €5,000 and Cremonese €1,500 for various crowd-related incidents.
