A difficult blow to Fulham: following unusual behavior during the loss to Manchester United, after pushing the referee of the match, Chris Cavanaugh, Aleksandar Mitrovic may be absent for an extended period of time and may not even return this season. The Cottagers striker received a red for his action, which is expected to complicate the newcomer’s season.
Remember, during the cup match against United at Old Trafford, Mitrovic argued with the referee and tried to grab his hand, which eventually led to his sending off. The English Association announced that they would not be satisfied with a small punishment: “The standard punishment for sending off with a straight red (3 games) is distinctly insufficient, due to the violence he demonstrated towards the referee. Even after the sending off, Mitrovic continued to be aggressive towards Cavanaugh, until finally he fell to the ground.”
In the English “Times” they claimed that when the English association says that the punishment is not enough, it is a long-term suspension, when according to the well-known and well-known media body, a suspension until the end of the season is also on the agenda. Sitting 9th in the table and struggling, the last thing Fulham need is to lose their top goalscorer this season.
