Cagliari forward Daniel Maldini involved in road accident under influence

Cagliari forward Daniel Maldini was involved in a road accident on the night between Saturday and Sunday, September 13, shortly after his team's match against Atalanta. The incident occurred as Maldini was returning from an outing with friends, resulting in a collision with another vehicle after he allegedly failed to yield, involving a total of six individuals. Maldini was briefly hospitalized and subsequently discharged.

Following the crash, Italian authorities reported that Maldini tested positive for alcohol, with two readings of 0.91 and 0.89 mg/l, and a preliminary test indicated the presence of substances. While medical toxicological examinations are currently pending to confirm the drug test results, his driver's license has been revoked. Cagliari is reportedly reviewing the situation to determine potential disciplinary actions and fines for the 20-year-old athlete. The official investigation remains ongoing to finalize the legal consequences of the event.
