Reo-Coker: Fabregas Pull on Saelemaekers Inexcusable

Former West Ham and Aston Villa midfielder Nigel Reo-Coker has called Como coach Cesc Fabregas' physical intervention on AC Milan's Alexis Saelemaekers 'inexcusable' and 'completely wrong'.

The incident occurred during the 1-1 draw between Milan and Como, when Fabregas grabbed Saelemaekers' shirt while the Belgian was defending along the touchline, allowing Como to break up the pitch. Saelemaekers reacted with fury to the incident, which has been widely discussed in football circles over the past week.

Fabregas has since apologized for his actions, but Reo-Coker, now a CBS Sports pundit, strongly condemned the behavior during a pre-match discussion for Milan's upcoming game against Parma. 'To do that, it's inexcusable,' Reo-Coker stated. 'It's completely wrong.'
