CM: Club fine and a benching – what happens next for Theo after Feyenoord debacle | OneFootball

Theo Hernandez apologised to the fans and his team-mates after his red card against Feyenoord, but he might still face some internal punishment.

Calciomercato.com write how Theo is the ‘symbol’ of a two-faced Milan, a team capable of going to win away against Real Madrid and then being eliminated by a very young Feyenoord side who had 10 injuries. It is something he contributed to as well, given the two yellows cards he got.

There is disappointment and anger at the rest not just from an image point of view (the Rossoneri were favourites) but also from an economic perspective, given that the €11m for last 16 qualification went up in smoke.

The club decided to fine Theo for leaving his team-mates numerically inferior and ultimately costing them a spot in the competition. The French full-back is having a difficult time on and off the pitch which perhaps caused emotions to spill over, but at an unacceptable time.

Meanwhile, Sergio Conceicao is considering giving the Frenchman a rest as early as Saturday’s away match against Torino. One solution would be to deploy Alex Jimenez in his place, or potentially Filippo Terracciano, who has never been completely convincing when he has been used in that role.
