Former Premier League midfielder turned pundit Nigel Reo-Coker described Cesc Fabregas' physical pull on AC Milan player Alexis Saelemaekers as 'inexcusable' and 'completely wrong.' The incident occurred during the 1-1 draw between Milan and Como, with Fabregas grabbing Saelemaekers' shirt while the Belgian was defending along the touchline.
Although Como coach Fabregas has since apologized for the incident, Reo-Coker reiterated his criticism during a pre-match discussion for Milan's upcoming fixture against Parma, stating that such actions on the field have no place in professional football.
