Montenegrin footballer Milutin Osmajić is back in the spotlight on the Island after receiving a red card last night in the duel between Preston and Hull in the 28th round of the Championship.
Osmajić headbutted Hull midfielder John Landstrom in the face last night at the end of the match. The Preston player was sent off in the 95th minute, when everything was settled, as Hull were leading 3-0.
The player from Nikšić could be suspended for three matches, and Preston manager Paul Hackinbottom points out that he is very disappointed with Osmajić's actions.
"This is completely unacceptable indiscipline. If he gets a three-match suspension, it means he will miss 20 games since I've been here due to penalties. There is a way a professional footballer behaves, regardless of whether it's starting on the pitch or his behaviour off it," Hackinbottom said after the match.
DON'T MISS IT
When asked if Osmajić disappointed him, Heckinbottom said:
"Yes. It didn't cost us the game, but we have three important matches ahead of us, and now we have one less striker," the Preston manager pointed out.
Media in England remind that this is not the first incident in which Osmajić has played a leading role. The Montenegrin international was suspended for eight matches in October 2024 for biting Blackburn player Owen Beck.
Then in November last year he missed nine games after racially abusing Burnley player Hannibal Mesbury in a match last season. He was also fined £21.
