Arturo Vidal was reportedly dropped from Juventus’ starting line-up against Roma for disciplinary reasons.
With Andrea Pirlo returning for a first start of the season against the Giallorossi on Sunday evening, it was the Chile international to drop to the bench, with Claudio Marchisio and Paul Pogba starting in the midfield too.
The Gazzetta dello Sport today suggest that Massimiliano Allegri’s decision was not purely technical and that Vidal’s exclusion in particular was disciplinary.
The pink publication reports that the 27-year-old was involved in a confrontation at a nightclub on Thursday evening and was subsequently late to training the following morning.
Vidal was apparently fined for the episode and the Gazzetta, who say sources at the Bianconeri ‘unofficially confirm’ the incident, believe it was the main reason for his exclusion from the first XI on Sunday.
