Maldini driving license suspended after car crash

Italian footballer Daniel Maldini, 24, saw his driving license suspended after a car crash in Milan. The son of legendary AC Milan and Italy players Paolo and Cesare Maldini, Maldini was found to be over the legal alcohol limit following the accident. Six people were injured, with Maldini among them. The attacking midfielder had just scored the winning goal for Cagliari in a 2-1 win against Atalanta in Serie A moments before the crash.

Maldini, who made his debut for Italy against Israel in a Nations League match in 2024, has since made six appearances for his country. His driving license was confiscated following a positive breathalyser test, which recorded blood alcohol levels of 0.91 grams per litre and 0.89 g/l - both exceeding Italy's legal limit of 0.5 g/l. Maldini was taken to the hospital for precautionary checks before being released.
