Stefano Sturaro’s agent says the Juventus midfielder “was not in top physical condition against Bayern Munich”.
The midfielder replaced Sami Khedira with the Bianconeri 2-0 up in the Champions League tie, but attracted criticism for his performance, completing just seven passes and missing a good chance in extra-time.
“Stefano suffered a broken toenail in the [Coppa Italia] match with Inter,” Carlo Volpi explained to Radio Crc.

The midfielder replaced Sami Khedira with the Bianconeri 2-0 up in the Champions League tie, but attracted criticism for his performance, completing just seven passes and missing a good chance in extra-time.
“Stefano suffered a broken toenail in the [Coppa Italia] match with Inter,” Carlo Volpi explained to Radio Crc.
“He wasn’t in top physical condition against Bayern. He had difficulty even wearing boots, it went beyond the physical problem.”
The Old Lady went out 6-4 on aggregate after extra-time, and Volpi believes that will fire them up for the Scudetto race.
“The Bianconeri are very angry after the Champions League elimination, they were the same on Thursday morning as they were that evening.
“If a team totally dominates you and deserves to win it’s a different matter, losing like that causes anger.
“The litmus test is the Torino game, they can’t take any games for granted or look at the fixture list.”
