Lucas Biglia's injury, José Mauri coming on the pitch and the argument between Gattuso and Bakayoko. During the first half hour of the game versus Bologna last night, what happened close to the Milan bench didn't go unnoticed. It in fact seemed like the French midfielder refused to come on.
After the game, won 2-1 by the Rossoneri, Gattuso and Leonardo have commented what happened while Bakayoko published a message on his Instagram account afterwards: "I won't accept to be considered as a player who refuses to come on when his coach asks him or who doesn't respect his club nor his teammates. I was asked to get ready in case there was a substitution, I started warming up for 2-3 minutes, then I asked to return to the bench. I think it happened between the 23' and 26', and it's when I sat on the bench that the coach talked to me in unexpected terms. Nothing more".
"Things are clear: I didn't refuse to come on. I think the images talk for themselves. I only have one wish, play so that I can help my teammates as I've always have and as I'll continue to do from this moment until the end of the season. Forza Milan".
