N'Koulou: Torino president furious as Cameroon defender tries to force Roma move

The Cameroon defender requested his omission from the team's opening league match against Sassuolo on Sunday

Torino president Urbano Cairo is furious about Nicolas N'Koulou's situation at the club and has demanded the defender apologise to his teammates.

N'Koulou, who has been heavily linked with a move to league rivals Roma this summer, missed the Bull's 2-1 win over Sassuolo on Sunday.

The 29-year-old was reported to have requested his omission from Walter Mazarri's team as he hopes to clear his future before the September 2 transfer deadline.
