The major talking point surrounding AC Milan’s trip to face Sampdoria on Friday night was the omission of star striker Carlos Bacca.
The 30-year-old was the club’s top scorer last season and hit a hat-trick on the opening day of this term against Torino. However, following last Sunday’s 1-0 defeat at home to Udinese, speculation grew of an argument between the precision finisher and his coach, Vincenzo Montella.
La Gazzetta dello Sport (h/t Football Italia) reported that the player had complained about the service, or lack thereof, provided to him by his team-mates.
