Charlie Patino: Swansea boss Duff backs Arsenal loanee to learn from red card

Arsenal loanee Charlie Patino will learn from his red card during Swansea City's goalless draw with Sunderland, Swans head coach Michael Duff says.

Patino, 20, was sent off for picking up two yellow cards in the space of 20 first-half minutes on Saturday.

Reports in Italy have linked the highly-rated midfielder to clubs such as AC Milan following his promising start to a season-long loan with Swansea in the Championship.

"He's been good, Charlie," said Duff.

"He's had a lot of headlines this week in terms of a bit of noise and things like that but he's been flatlining in terms of his own ego, keeping it in check and not getting ahead of himself.
