    KALIDOU KOULIBALY has revealed Maurizio Sarri once called him away from his wife's bedside during the birth of his son – just to put him on Napoli's bench.

    He told the Players' Tribune: “Sarri looks at me and says, 'No, no, no. I need you tonight, Kouli. I really need you. You can’t go.'

    “I say, 'This is the birth of my son, Mister. You can do whatever you want to me. Fine me, suspend me, I don’t care. I am going'.

    “Sarri looks so stressed, and he is smoking his cigarette. Smoking, smoking, thinking… then finally he says, 'OK, OK, you can go to the clinic. But you have to be back for the match tonight. I need you, Kouli!'”

    AC MILAN have been banned from Europe for a year – after striking a deal with Uefa that allows them to get round Financial Fair Play rules this summer.

    The club has been thrown out of the Europa League, with Roma taking their place in the main draw and Torino gaining entry through the qualifying rounds.

    The Italian giants had been challenging a ruling through the courts after twice breaking regulations limiting the amount of money they could spend.

    Uefa’s FFP rules say clubs can lose just £27m over three years.

    Despite the warnings, Milan spent around £180m on transfers in 2018-19 after being taken over by US hedge fund Elliott Management Corporation – only to again finish outside the Serie A top four.

    But Milan chief executive Ivan Gazidis has successfully persuaded the governing body to bring the punishment forward by a year – which allows the club 12 months before having their accounts examined again.
