Bayern players Olise and Kimmich investigated by UEFA over yellows vs Atalanta

Bayern Munich players Michael Olise and Joshua Kimmich are under investigation after receiving yellow cards in Tuesday's 6-1 Champions League first-leg win over Atalanta in Bergamo.

UEFA is reviewing the incidents that led to the cautions: the Frenchman was booked for delaying a corner kick when the score was already 6-0, while the German was cautioned for taking more than 45 seconds to take a free-kick in his own half in the 82nd minute.

Both players face a one-match suspension and will miss the return leg in Monaco. Given the match at the New Balance Arena was effectively a formality, it is likely they deliberately picked up the cards to clear their suspensions ahead of the quarter-finals.
