Massimiliano Allegri labelled Paulo Dybala a "clever boy" for apologising following his behaviour during Juventus's 3-3 at home to Parma last weekend.
Dybala was an unused substitute at the Allianz Stadium as a late brace from Gervinho saw Juve make a rare slip up in their Scudetto defence and the Argentina forward left the bench before the end of the game.
Afterwards, Allegri joked Dybala was cold but was privately reported to be furious with the player's actions, with the matter coming to a head at training on Thursday.
"He apologised, as it was right to do from a clever boy like him, to whom the club has given important responsibility – the number 10 jersey and the captain's armband when [Giorgio] Chiellini is not available," Allegri said at a news conference to preview Juve's trip to Sassuolo.
